Bichir manages to be gruff but sensitive, honest yet mysterious, making Ruiz a mix of righteousness and compassion.

The surprise has left many with the same question on their lips—who the hell is Demian Bichir?

As Bichir put it, his tearjerker role is just the sort that actors “die” for.

In an interview with Fox News Latino, Bichir explains his motivation to be part of the film was not a political one.

For Bichir, the film was not only a story about immigration, but rather a narrative of the love of a father for his son.

Of these the only one known until very recently was Polypterus bichir of the Nile.
