The Tony, Em- my and Academy Award® Nominated actor, is probably best known to young audiences for his work on the SYFY television series “Battlestar Galatica” as Admiral William Adama. Although the series kept the actor busy during its run from 2003 through 2009, it didn’t stop him from directing the HBO movie “Walkout” in 2007, for which he earned a DGA Nomination in the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television category. Olmos’ career in entertainment spans over 30 years. In that time he created a signature style and aesthetic that he applies to every artist endeavor, often grounding his characters in reality and gravitas. His dedication to his craft has brought him attention across the indus- try, and with audiences worldwide. Originally a musician, Olmos branched out into acting, appearing in many small theatre productions until portraying the iconic El Pachuco in “Zoot Suit.” The play moved to Broadway and Olmos earned a Tony nomination for the role, which he revised in the 1981 film version. Olmos went on to appear in the films Wolfen, Blade Runner, and the Ballad of Gregorio Cortez before starring in his biggest role to date, that of Lieutenant Martin Castillo in the iconic 80’s television series “Miami Vice” opposite Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thom- as. During his time on the Michael Mann series, Olmos earned two Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations, resulting in a win from each. In 1988, the actor was nominated for an Academy Award® and won the Golden Globe for his portrayal of Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver. He directed and starred in his first motion picture, American Me, in 1992. Olmos’ passion for the arts grows every year, but he never forgets to give back to the communities that support him with their ded- ication and support. He is an international advocate, spokesman, and humanitarian working with organizations such as Thank You Ocean, Project Hope Foundation, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, The Boy’s and Girl’s Club of America, The River Keepers, Dr. Andros’ Dia- betic Foot Global Conference and he speaks up to 150 times a year in schools, universities, and corporations. Other credits as an actor include the motion pictures My Family/Mi Familia; Selena, which was a breakout film for Jennifer Lopez; and In the Time of Butterflies, in which he played Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. In television, he enjoyed a recur- ring role as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Roberto Mendoza in the NBC drama “The West Wing,” portrayed a widowed father in the PBS dra- ma American Family: Journey of Dreams, and recently Directed the YouTube phenomena “The Short Film BP Doesn’t Want You To See,” featured on Larry King/CNN.

Our an- nual Gala exuberantly recognizes key personalities for their social, economic, and philanthropic contributions that they have made, and continue to make, in order to preserve and commemorate the Hispanic community. The proceeds from our Gala have enabled our organization to help establish and maintain our Mentor Program, which creates opportunity and support for future Hispanic leaders; provide scholarship oppor- tunities; host informational events and seminars that assist in educating the community on Hispanic issues; pro- mote and shape future Hispanic forerunners in an effort to allow Hispanic personalities to leave a footprint within our communities; fund events that promote and encourage change from within the Hispanic community; and increase awareness amongst the Hispanic population in ways in which they can create and implement positive change and influence within communal boundaries. We are dependent upon the support and financial contributions from our sponsors in order to con- tinue our organization’s objectives. The sustenance of our programs and organization’s success are contingent upon the backing we receive from our benefactors.
