Actor Andy Garcia Andy Garcia Andy Garcia And Al Pacino In The Godfather Part III Andy Garcia In The Untouchables

Freedom is not negotiable.

They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.

I spent seven years without working, so if they're making cop movies, I'll play cops. I got two kids to bring up.

You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies.

His mother, Amelie Menéndez, was an English teacher, and his father, René García Núñez, was an avocado farmer and attorney in Cuba, and later owned a fragrance business in the United States.

His family emigrated to the US in 1961 after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion.

I never applied to go back to Cuba. They did invite me to the Havana Film Festival, but I am opposed to the regime in Cuba. I'd have liked to go back every day of my life. But in honor of all the people who have died and suffered under that regime, I'm not able to make that leap.

I'm an exile. My father had the courage to leave with his wife, his mother and three children under twelve. It took more courage to leave, to sacrifice everything for freedom, than to stay.

García was raised as a Roman Catholic.

He was born as a conjoined twin. His twin was no bigger than a tennis ball and was surgically removed. All that remains is a scar on his shoulder.

Refuses to do nude scenes. He once walked out of a audition when asked to remove his shirt.

Fact: Owns 25 conga drums, collects hats, and wears a beret in the winter.

Turned down the role of "Detective Mac Taylor" (The character played by Gary Sinise) on the popular CBS crime drama "CSI: NY" (2004).

Long time friend of actor Mickey Rourke. Has said that Rourke was his high school baseball coach.
