One of the foremost painters of children today. Considered a modern day Norman Rockwell, Bob's nostalgic Trompe l'Oeil (fool-the-eye-realism) oil paintings evoke a feeling of a kinder and gentler age in which he grew up.
His classical ultra realistic interpretations of the everyday experiences of the child, awakens in the viewer, long forgotten memories. The art combines precise academic painting techniques of the Old Dutch Masters with the heart and soul of Norman Rockwell. Bob's work can be found in over 3,000 galleries.
You have seen his face in numerous films, theatrical roles, and television productions over the years. You have seen him in everything from La Bamba, Death Wish IV and Robocop to Desperado. He has played "Oso" in Born In East L.A., "Ortega" in Scarface, and "Santos" in Night Of The Living Dead III. More recently, Mike has graced the silver screen with his portrayals in Buena Vista's The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit and The Crew.
Mike relaxes in his "spare" time by team roping in the Pro-Celebrity Rodeo Circuit raising money for children's charities. He is also an artist whose paintings are being collected all over the world. Mike can be seen throughout the southwest doing art show concerts. This is just one more facet to this bicultural, Tex-Mex actor and all around good guy.
