Carlos Lacamara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlos Lacamara (born November 11, 1958) is a Cuban-born actor who has had a long career on American television, making his first appearance in 1983 on the popular sitcom Family Ties. Lacamara has mostly played supporting characters and guest star roles, with the exception of his role as Ray García, the family patriarch on The Brothers García.
In the early 1990s, he played orderly Paco Ortiz on the NBC sitcom Nurses. He also made recurring guest appearances on the crime series Silk Stalkings and Close to Home. The latter series, in which Lacamara plays a medical examiner, is rare in casting the actor in the role of an highly educated professional, although his recent guest roles have shifted from the early trend to cast him as a waiter, valet, or other entry level worker.[1] In 1997, Lacamara also played one of the starring roles in the educational series Connect With English, a fictional drama written for students of English as a Second Language.

- Lacamara's role in The Brothers García reunited him with former Nurses co-star Ada Maris.
