".....and then there is Gil (Emilio Diaz). His antics, sometimes broad and sometimes super subtle, stand out and draw laughs for days. Watch for this newcomer to climb the ranks quickly - he's funny, talented, works the audience, teases, flirts, cajoles, and wins the hearts of the audience." - Bob Evans, Examiner.com
"Diaz was fantastic as Paco - the role could not have been performed better by any other actor." - Bob Evans, Examiner.com
