"A little human kindness and understanding may get you more than you asked for," he says...
Watching his understated performance as a waiter in Big Night prompted actress and producer Salma Hayek to cast Anthony in her forthcoming Showtime production of Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies. He plays the small but pivotal role of Lio, a political activist in the Dominican Republic during Trujillo's regime. "When I met him, I knew he was perfect for the role," says Hayek.
