It was a perfect TV movie. I could watch it over and over and over again. I became a big fan of Santiago's work when I watched this, and by work I'm including the projects he's acted in.
I literally went to IMDB and looked him up and learned of more projects he appeared in. He's a great actor, and although he didn't star in Lackawanna Blues (he was in it but not a main character), he did a great job writing, and producing it. Directed by George C. Wolfe.
