Ed Trucco
Eduardo "Ed" Trucco (born June 3, 1963, in New York City) is a Puerto Rican–American actor, producer and former sportscaster of Argentine descent. Trucco is best known as Manning in the American television series Law and Order, agent Patrick O'Hara in Al otro lado del muro and DEA agent Ernie Palermo, who is the character that speaks the most English in the third season of La Reina del Sur. In his youth, he was known for his participation in two boy-band related movies in Puerto Rico.
Trucco has also been involved in sportscasting, as when he was in his late teens, he hosted a BMX bike racing show in Puerto Rico and has also participated in some World Wrestling Entertainment television shows.
Trucco was born in Queens, New York City, the son of Orestes Trucco, an Argentine film director, and a Puerto Rican mother named Gladys. At a very young age, Trucco moved to Argentina, where he lived for ten years, and where he became a big association football fan. Among his first life dreams were hopes of becoming a football player and, perhaps, join the Argentina men's national football team someday. But the Trucco family moved to Puerto Rico early in Ed's youth, and since association football was not well established in that Caribbean country as of yet, his dreams of becoming a football player were basically dashed, and Trucco decided to concentrate on acting and on television work instead.
At the age of eight, Trucco made his film debut, in an Argentine film named "Hipolito y Evita" ('"Hipolito and Evita", which was an Argentine version of the Romeo and Juliet love story). He also acted in "Yo Gané al Prode" ("I Beat the Brave"), which was another Argentine film.
By 1982, when Trucco was in his late teens, he was hired by his father Orestes to work in his (Orestes') directed movie, where he (Ed) joined Puerto Rican boy band Menudo in their second film, named "Una Aventura Llamada Menudo" ("An Adventure Named Menudo"). Ed Trucco played "Eduardo" in that movie, which became a major cinema hit in Puerto Rico and the rest of Latin America and was also seen in some states in the United States. Trucco's role in that film was substantial as he appeared on several scenes.
Alongside with the movie, Trucco was by then also hosting a weekly BMX races television show in Puerto Rico. The film and the sports show gave him teen-idol status in the island.
In 1984, Trucco was involved in another Puerto Rican film involving a Puerto Rican boy band; this time, named "Conexion Caribe" ("Caribbean Connection"), which was also directed by his father and which starred Menudo's top musical rivals of the era, Los Chicos (which, at the time, included future international singing star Chayanne). Trucco played "Quique", another character whose role in the story was also pretty substantial.
In the mid-80s, Trucco acted in some telenovelas in Puerto Rico; in one of them, he met his future sister in law, actress Giselle Blondet.
