    Andy Garcia (Mike Delmarco) has established himself as one of today’s most talented and versatile actors.

    ‘I’m Still Dreaming’: Andy Garcia Looks Back on Career Encompassing ‘The Untouchables,’ ‘The Godfather Part III,’ ‘Ocean’s Eleven’
    Looking back on his 35-year career at the Red Sea Film Festival, Andy Garcia noted how far things had changed since he started out as a Cuban American actor. “When I started there were no opportunities.
