![Benjamin Bratt TheInfiltrator interview](/images/stories/Movie%20Pics/Benjamin-Bratt-TheInfiltrator-interview.jpg)
Benjamin Bratt is once again playing a Latino crime boss, this time in THE INFILTRATOR starring Bryan Cranston and John Leguizamo, but he originally turned it down because he didn't want to play another Latino stereotype. After a nudge from his friend and INFILTRATOR director Brad Furman, the actor gave the script a chance, and he fell in love with the character of Roberto Alcaino who was Pablo Escobar's top lieutenant in the notorious 80s drug cartel. Bratt tells CineMovie Hollywood isn't offering versatile roles for actors of Latino descent and things have only gotten worse since he started out as an actor 30 years ago.

![The BFG Steven Spielberg interview](/images/stories/Movie%20Pics/TheBFG-StevenSpielberg-interview.jpg)
Besides directing Whoopi Goldberg in THE COLOR PURPLE, Steven Spielberg’s films usually feature leading men but that’s not to say his films exclude women. Who can forget Karen Allen as the feisty Marion in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and Laura Dern in JURASSIC PARK. Spielberg says he was attracted to THE BFG because the story centered on a female role. He looked to Walt Disney for inspiration in adapting Roald Dahl’s fantasy novel. Listen to what Spielberg had to say about Walt Disney’s influence on his work for his first Disney film.

![Outcast Interview Reg E Cathey Philip Glenister](/images/stories/Movie%20Pics/Outcast-Interview-Reg-E-Cathey-Philip-Glenister.jpg)
If you have a show about demonic possession, you need an exorcist. For "Outcast," that exorcist is Reverend Anderson (Philip Glenister). He enlists Kyle Barnes (Patrick Fugit) to help him perform exorcism for the town’s possessed residents. We already saw one brutal exorcism in the pilot.
The demons in town also have to contend with the law. Chief Giles (Reg. E. Cathey) tries to maintain law and order but he may be in over his head. We got to sit in a roundtable interview with Glenister and Cathey to talk about "Outcast," from creator Robert Kirkman ("The Walking Dead") and based on his comic book. "Outcast" airs Fridays at 10PM on Cinemax.
