Stocky, tough-looking Latino character actor of film and television has been featured in several films helmed by Sidney Lumet ("Family Business" 1989, "Q&A" 1990, and "Guilty as Sin" 1993). Typically sporting a mustache and curly hair, Guzman has a wide, expressive face that does not readily belie his age. Raised on New York's Lower East Side, he was initially typecast in ethnic sleazeball parts, but graduated to playing solid working-class citizens such as the recurring role of Hector Martinez, the father of cop Nicholas Turturro on the acclaimed TV drama "NYPD Blue" (ABC, 1993- ). Guzman's favorite feature role was Luis Valentin in "Q&A", a cop with authentic street credentials and strong family values.
