Adam Rodriguez<\/b> (Eric Delko) may be leaving CSI: Miami<\/i>, but his acting career is going strong.<\/p>\n
\nAs CSI Files previously reported<\/a>, Rodriguez will have a more limited role in the upcoming season of Miami<\/i> leading up to his departure. “CSI<\/i> was an amazing opportunity to develop my career,” the actor said. “I’m ready to explore any kind of [good] projects down the road on TV or the big screen.”<\/p>\n \nRodriguez is in the Tyler Perry<\/b> film I Can Do Bad All By Myself<\/i>, which is currently in theaters, and he is scheduled to appear in multiple episodes of the ABC series Ugly Betty<\/i> this year. He also has three films coming up that have not been released: A Kiss of Chaos<\/i> (a Latino thriller), Let the Game Begin<\/i> with Stephen Baldwin<\/b> and the police corruption drama Caught in the Crossfire<\/i>, which features rapper 50 Cent<\/b>. “It’s not a secret that Latinos work harder,” the actor said. “I’ve been working hard and waiting. Patience and hard work are paying off.”<\/p>\n \nActing has been the actor’s passion for more than a decade, but it wasn’t his first dream. When he was young, he wanted to play professional baseball, but a spinal injury ended those aspirations. “The injury made clear that the dream of becoming a baseball player was intercepted,” Rodriguez explained. “When I turned 19, I said to myself: ‘I’m going to take acting classes and dedicate myself to this passion.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko) may be leaving CSI: Miami, but his acting career is going…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2907],"tags":[2916],"class_list":["post-7477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-m","tag-rodriguez"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"CSI: Miami<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI: Miami","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7477"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7477\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7478,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7477\/revisions\/7478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
