Rosie Perez takes on live TV and a Broadway role
BY ZAYDA RIVERA
R
osie Perez is a ham. And
she’ll be the first to admit it.
The Bushwick, Brooklyn, native shimmied her
way into America’s heart as Tina
in 1989’s Spike Lee-directed
“Do the Right Thing.” The career she never even imagined
pursuing — she wanted to be a
scientist — suddenly catapulted
her into stardom.
Following starring roles in
such films as “White Men Can’t
Jump,” a Broadway role in “The
Ritz” and a handful of memorable TV appearances including Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie,”
Perez continues to meet new
challenges.
She speaks to Viva about her
new daytime-TV gig as a co-host
— and the first Latina — on “The
View,” her tumultuous childhood as detailed in her memoir,
“Handbook for an Unpredictable Life,” and her upcoming
role in Larry David’s Broadway
comedy, “Fish in the Dark.”
When you were first approached about being a new
host on “The View,” did the
drama between the co-hosts
on previous seasons make you
hesitant about joining?
Yes, and I don’t want to sound
disrespectful to the previous
cast at all. It’s just that when you
get to a certain age you want to
go to work and enjoy yourself.
You describe yourself and
the other women on the show
as “alpha females.” Where does
that power and forthrightness
in you come from?
I think it was because in part
that I was raised around a lot of
women, so there wasn’t any sexism that came into play. I think
that it’s also just a part of who I
am innately. And also seeing my
aunt get up and go to work every
single day and carry a family all
by herself. That is in me as well.
I know I am capable because I
had a great example.
One of the things that sticks
out the most in your book was
how early your memories started. You went back to being 3
years old in certain parts. How
hard was it for you to revisit
those moments?
It was difficult and it was
joyous. Whether you have a
wonderful childhood or a terrible childhood, those memories
are very, very vibrant. And they
stuck with me, unfortunately.
There were days when I
would sit at the computer and
just break down in tears, but
it was a good thing because I
was no longer that little girl. If
I hadn’t done my homework in
regards to therapy and working
it out, I don’t think I could have
ever written the book.
A lot of people that live in
inner cities have that mentality
of not being able to see beyond
the block. How did you make
it past that? What drove you to
see beyond it?
Funny to say, I believe that it
was a blessing in disguise that
I was placed in a convent early
on because I was able to see a
different side of life. I was able
to see suburbia. I was able to see
pure Americana.
It was very, very different
from my other life (in Brooklyn)
’cause I was living in two different worlds at the same time in
Brooklyn.
What drives you to give
back?
What drives me to give back
is that there were so many
people that gave back to me.
Also the generosity that was
bestowed on me by my aunt, my
father’s sister.
Here she is with a lot of kids
of her own in a shotgun apartment, everybody’s sleeping on
top of each other, and she still
made room for me. Yes, my bedroom was in the hallway,
but it was mine! She made that
possible.
Teachers, guidance counselors; every little drop helps.
You’re next in Larry David’s
Broadway show, “Fish in the
Dark.” Can you tell us anything
about the play or your role?
Nah [laughs].
This is your return to Broadway. What is it about the stage
that excites you?
As you read in the book, I’ve
been a ham since birth. I’ve just
always loved it and it’s not so
much about the attention, it’s
more about entertaining.

Piotr Sikora for VH1
t the mere sight of Gerardo Mejia,
most people immediately think of
two words: Rico Suave.
“I’m 49 and I still get that!”
Mejia tells Viva. “It’s kind of scary
(L. to r.) Jaden, Nadia, Gerardo,
Kathy and Bianca of ‘Suave Says.’
because everyone wants to see if I still
got the abs.”
The Ecuadorian rapper with the chiseled torso and wild hair became a onehit wonder — and a national punchline
— in the early 1990s with his hit single
“Rico Suave.”
While some dismissed it as a gimmicky record that portrayed Latinos
in a negative light, Mejia had a master
plan.
“At that moment MC Hammer was
out and (so was) Vanilla Ice,” he recalls.
“Black people went crazy for Hammer, white people went crazy for Vanilla
Ice. I was like, ‘I’m taking the brown
people with me!’ ”
Although his career as a musical
artist never really took off, Mejia had
enough experience to know exactly
what went into being a star. In the mid’90s, he stepped behind the scenes as an
A&R director for Interscope Records
and found fast success.

Suave’redux
’90s rapper Gerardo stars in new reality show
Gerardo in his heyday.
I just like to perform and I
like to entertain because, one,
I enjoy it for myself. But two, I
love the reactions it gets out of
people.
Do you still do the dance
from the opening credits of
“Do the Right Thing?”
No, I’d be in the hospital. Are
you kidding me?! What do you
think I am, Beyonce?
Do you enjoy watching yourself in movies?
No, no, I don’t enjoy watching myself. I can’t, ’cause I’m
obsessed with my hair. That’s all
I’m thinking about.
“The first artist I signed was Enrique
Iglesias,” says Mejia. “That was like starting out and then graduating. We sold
millions of records.”
Now, he’s back in the spotlight in
“Suave Says,” a VH1 reality series
that also includes his family: beauty
queen wife Kathy, rapping son Jaden,
daughters Bianca, a fashionista,
and Nadia, an aspiring singer.
There’s also his niece, Lexi, and
her toddler son.
“In my house there’s three
hams: myself, my wife and my
middle child,” he says about
dealing with the cameras.
The 10-episode series, which
premiered Dec. 3, airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Mejia says he’s
hoping to attract the same audience that helped make his signature song a hit.
“Twenty-three years after
‘Rico Suave’ came out, I can tell
you that my first priority is to
make sure that the people that at
one time supported me know that
I’m back for another round,” he
says about his Latino fan base.
“What I love about our people is that we’re loyal.”

Hard rock life
‘Red Tent’ is whole
other homeland for
Bobby Cannavale stars in HBO ’70s Morena Baccarin
music drama and new ‘Annie’ film
A
BY RAY MONELL
BOBBY BANK/GC IMAGES
fter a steamy, mutually satisfying fling on
“Boardwalk Empire,”
Bobby Cannavale and
HBO have decided to
take their relationship a step
further.
HBO this week ordered a
series starring Cannavale, who
won an Emmy for his portrayal
of fictional Prohibition-era
another sign that cable-TV
shows have gained ground on
film with respect to scope and
quality.
“The (TV) medium itself
has changed,” says Cannavale,
44. “Cable has really helped. I
mean, the role on ‘Boardwalk
Empire’ really helped me in
terms of being seen as a film
actor, because it was pretty
much a film.
“That’s why you got Steven
gangster Gyp Rosetti on season
three of “Boardwalk Empire,”
to play Richie Finestra, a music
executive who’s desperately
trying to steer his struggling
record label back to prosperity in the drug- and sex-fueled
punk and disco scene of 1970s
New York.
Martin Scorsese, who directed the pilot of the yet-tobe-titled series, Rolling Stones
frontman Mick Jagger and
“Boardwalk Empire” creator
Terence Winter are three of the
show’s executive producers, and
main cast members include Andrew Dice Clay, Ray Romano,
Olivia Wilde and Juno Temple.
Cannavale says having such
notable Hollywood names attached to this project is yet
MACALL B. POLAY/AP PHOTO/HBO
Director Martin Scorsese (l.) and actor Bobby Cannavale
on location for an upcoming HBO series about the New
York music scene in the 1970s.
Soderbergh shooting ‘The
Knick,’ that’s why (Scorsese)
shoots ‘Boardwalk Empire’ and
the pilot I just did with him for
HBO. You see a lot more film
people get involved in the medium because the quality’s there.”
The Cuban/Italian-American Cannavale will be a fixture
in movie theaters this holiday
season beginning Dec. 19,
when the latest film adaptation
of the Broadway musical “Annie” opens.
Cannavale plays Guy,
the insanely ambitious
political adviser of billionaire mayoral candidate
Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx).
The movie also features 11-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis, an Oscar
nominee for 2012’s
“Beasts of the Wild,” as
an African-American
Annie.
“I liked the idea of
modernizing this story,
making it contemporary,
making it more emblematic of different cultures
and the different ways
that cultures have advanced and really sort
of come into our own,”
says Cannavale, whose
girlfriend, Rose Byrne, plays Stacks’
personal assistant,
Grace Farrell.
“For Guy, it’s all
about him. I mean,
this is a guy who
claims he got (former
North Korean dictator)
Kim Jon-il elected.”
Baccarin as Rachel, one of four wives to Jacob, in ‘Red Tent.’
F
ormer “Homeland” actress Morena Baccarin
needed little convincing
when she was offered
a role in “The Red Tent,” a
two-part series adapted from
Anita Diamant’s bestseller.
The Old Testament narrative, airing on Lifetime Dec. 7
and 8, spans multiple generations and is told from the perspective of Dinah, a daughter
of Jacob, who is an important
figure in the Book of Genesis.
Dinah recalls the story
of Jacob’s four wives, Leah
(Minnie Driver), Rachel (Baccarin), Bilhah (Vinette Robinson) and Zilpah (Agni Scott),
and a massacre in the biblical
city of Shechem — located
within what is today known
as the West Bank — that forever changed the fate of her
tribe.
“I really loved the book,
actually, and so I was really
excited when they asked me
to do it,” Baccarin, whose
character serves as a midwife,
tells Viva.
“I’d just had a baby (boy),
and I felt like it was something close to me, like I could
connect with the material.
“It’s a story about love and
falling in love, about generations and patriarchal society,
and these women leading
their lives in such a society
and what they do to compensate and get through. The
red tent is essentially their
escape.”
The Brazilian brunette,
who played Jessica Brody on
“Homeland,” adds that the
most challenging aspect of
being in the miniseries was
having to work in a Moroccan
desert for two months.
“The circumstances under
which we were shooting were
difficult. You’re in the desert
for two months” Baccarin,
35, says.
“It was a dramatic piece,
so there were tough days at
work.”
While Baccarin’s character
on Showtime’s spy drama often clashed with her daughter,
motherhood in real life has
proven to be far less contentious for the New York-reared
actress.
“Just getting to see him
develop and grow every
single day, it’s a real, wild
adventure,” she says of her
1-year-old son, whose father
is director Austin Chick. “It’s
so much fun.”

Masked
marvels
El Rey’s ‘Lucha Underground’ brings
Mexican-style wrestling to the masses
L
BY RAY MONELL
ucha libre has a home on
American television.
“Lucha Underground,”
a weekly series airing at
8 p.m. Wednesdays that
debuted on the El Rey Network
on Oct. 29, is a dream come true
for fans of the masked wrestler
archetype engaging in acrobatic,
fast-paced, high-risk combat.
The action plays out at Lucha Underground Arena — also
known as The Temple — an old
warehouse in the L.A. community of Boyle Heights that was
converted into a wrestling venue
and fits about 450 spectators.
“When we initially set out
to design the show visually, visual reference that was thrown
around a lot was ‘Fight Club,’”
says “Lucha” executive producer
Diego Gutierrez, referring to the
1999 cult film starring Brad Pitt
and Edward Norton.
“The idea of going a little
more gritty with our look was
exciting. It was more about
keeping it smaller, more intimate, bringing the audience
closer into the storyline and
closer into the action, and giving it a look that would both fit
into the El Rey aesthetic and the
world of lucha libre that we were
trying to build on.”
The show’s roster includes
Blue Demon Jr., Mil Muertes,
Sexy Star, Catrina, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Ivelisse, Angela Fong and
Prince Puma, who lost the spectacularly choreographed main
event in the series premiere to exWWE wrestler Johnny Mundo.
“We are definitely pushing
a high-flying, acrobatic style of
action in the ring,” says Gutierrez, who is also a producer on
El Rey’s “From Dusk Till Dawn:
The Series.”
El Rey founder and film director Robert Rodriguez was partly
motivated to launch “Lucha”
— which is also backed by awardwinning TV producer Mark Burnett — so that his kids “and other
second- and third-generation
Latinos could have a destination
that they could relate to on every
level,” he says.
“I’m proud that El Rey Network is so incredibly diverse,”
adds Rodriguez, who has made
the luchador mask a motif in his
films.
“It’s entertainment for everyone, but our content more fully
represents the current face of
America, and I am proud to have
championed that way of thinking
for the past 20 years.”
How Daisy grew up Required reads
BY JOSE MANUEL SIMIAN
I
n the early stages of her inspired memoir “A Cup of
Water Under My Bed,” New
Jersey-raised writer Daisy
Hernandez lays out the fundamental dilemma of immigrant
children.
“You betray your parents if
you don’t become like them, and
you betray them if you do,” she
writes, retracing the words of an
Arab-American writer.
And off to betray her parents
one way or the other goes Hernandez, creating a private
world for herself in English,
discovering her bisexuality and following it, going
to work at the editorial
department of the New
York Times — something
that represented in
many ways an exacerbated version of the
American Dream her
parents had dreamt for
her — before giving it all
up to find her own place
in the world.
“That was such
a deep moment,”
Hernandez says,
referring to the
words of that fellow writer who
summarized that immigrant
dilemma.
“All along in my life, and
when I was writing the book, I
felt guilty about leaving them. I
hope that it came through in the
book that the ‘American Dream’
is hoisted against us from the
outside,” she says.
“Part of the book
was interrogating
what that ‘dream’
means. You can
Daisy Hernandez
look at my family’s story,” she
says of her Cuban father and
Colombian mother, “and say
they achieved it. They came
as poor immigrants and found
jobs and bought a house —
even if, as I say in the book, it
was condemned.
“People see it as a perfect
life,” she adds, “but there are
a lot of compromises
in many ways.
Hernandez says
a huge positive did
come out of writing
the book, which was
published by Beacon
Press.
“Writing is how I
leave my family, but it
is also how I take my
family with me,” Hernandez says, circling
back on the immigrant
child conundrum.
“I’m making them visible
to two groups of people. One
group may be looking at them
like poor and uneducated,
and perhaps learn something from their story.
But I’m also making
them visible to people
who may have had
similar experiences.”
Some recommended
stocking stuffers for your
holiday reading:
l Texas: The Great Theft
by Carmen Boullosa (Deep
Vellum Publishing; paperback, $12).
Award-winning, longtime
Brooklyn and
City College professor resident
Boullosa recreates the conflicts
between Mexicans and Texans
right after the
annexation of the
Lone Star state to
the United States.
It’s a story of racial and
national tensions structured
around the insult proffered
by a border-town Texas sheriff against a rich Mexican
landlord that triggers a faceoff between both men and
an invasion of the newlyforeign lands.
l A Most Imperfect
Union: A Contrarian History of the United States by
Ilan Stavans and Lalo Alcaraz (Basic Books, $18.23).
Leave it to maverick
Latino studies professor and
irreverent Chicano comic
writer Lalo Alcaraz to follow their groundbreaking
account of the Latino experience, “Latino USA: A Cartoon History,” with
this book that
destroys the idea
of a monolithic
history of the
country by means
of powerful black
and white drawings and a sense
of humor.
l A Planet
for Rent by Yoss
(Restless Books,
e-book $14.99, paperback
available in 2015).
Cuban science fiction?
Yes, sir. Acclaimed writer
Jose Miguel Sanchez Gomez
—aka “Yoss” — slams Fidel
Castro’s 1990s Cuba by imagining a future in which Earth
is saved from its environmental and economical problems
after becoming an interstellar
resort for aliens, and some
Earthlings look for a better
future abroad by jumping
into homemade spaceships.

Oh, Romeo! Santos dominates
Premios Lo Nuestro nominations
H
Ironically, both Santos and Enrique Iglesias —
who beat Santos with 10 nods — were nominated
together in two categories. Their “Loco” is up for
Tropical Song and Collaboration of the Year.
Both will vie for the awards’ highest honor,
Artist of the Year, along with Calibe 50 and newcomer J Balvin.
Premios Lo Nuestro, the longest-running show
celebrating Latin music in the U.S., is based on the
