Latino Actor Ryan Guzman Bares it All

By Krystyna Chavez
I love researching what hot Latino guys are up and coming (my job is tough), so when sexy model-turned-actor Ryan Guzman's photo landed in my inbox, I could hardly contain my excitement! Not only is he starring in his first-ever role as the lead in Step Up Revolution, but the half-Mexican actor also grew up in my home state of California. That always wins points in my book! Ryan dishes on exactly what he likes about Latinas, his struggle to hold onto his Latin roots and dancing on the big screen for the first time.
Be sure to check out Ryan starring in Step Up Revolution, out in theatres July 27, 2012!
What was the biggest challenge in working on Step Up Revolution?
The biggest challenge was getting all the choreography down and learning how to freestyle in front of a big crowd. Not only did I have to learn how to dance, but I also had to match my skill level to the level of the professional dancers around me.
What was it like working with So You think You Can Dance champion Kathryn McCormick?
Kathryn is one of the most loving people I've ever met. She is so open and inviting that she made working with her so easy. She is very talented, and that's me underselling her.

What challenges have you faced being a Latino actor, and what advice could you offer for aspiring actors?
Unfortunately, I don't look as Latin as I am. I get called a white guy a lot, but I am very proud of my heritage. I try my hardest to bring honor to my Mexican roots. Latin people are very passionate and loyal, and I will always remember who I am and where I come from. For aspiring actors out there, I would say stay focused and don't let anyone pull you away from your goals. Shoot for the stars, so that if you ever fall short you can land on the clouds.
What qualities does your ideal woman possess?
A sense of humor, passionate, focused and great eyes. I'm a sucker for a woman with beautiful eyes.

What is the hottest dance move a Latina can do for you?
Any Latin dance whether it be salsa, cha cha, samba, etc., is very sexy for me to see a woman do. Using your hips is the key.
