Should be a bigger star

Years ago when I saw Crazy Beautiful I thought that kid was gonna be big. He's done some great stuff but it seems like he should be an A list star. I think it's still gonna happen. He's really good in very different roles, and that might be why he's not bigger. Clooney is Clooney in every movie so you remember it's Clooney. Hernandez plays a broad variety characters. He was great as Diablo and was in face paint the whole time. Unlike say Topher Grace when he played Venom and had his mask off every few minutes ruining the character. Seems like a good dude, hope he breaks out.

He had a streak going during the mid 2000s but for some reason his career slowed down significantly in the past few years. I think he's great but maybe too many younger actors out there now and I always thought his baby face would hinder him from getting jobs as he got older and just not that many roles for visible minorities. Just my opinion.

I couldn't get over his looks in Crazy Beautiful. He had to have been one of the best looking men ever at the time. I don't know why his career did not take off...

It's surprising to me too that he didn't at least get a ''sex symbol'' status of some kind back in the 2000's. Yes he was that good looking back then.
