Puerto Rican actor Ramón Rodríguez was a guest yesterday on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", where he shared a Puerto Rican pitorro (moonshine alcohol) with the American host before discussing his hit series “Will Trent” on “The Tonight Show”.

The appearance began with Rodríguez making his entrance to the show’s set, along with a tambourine and a Puerto Rican flag, while Latin music played in the background by “The Tonight Show” band, which he described as “parranda” music. After a brief explanation of this local Christmas tradition, he indicated to Fallon that he was celebrating Day of the Three Kings, so he had brought him a gift.

The gift turned out to be a bottle of Puerto Rican tamarind pitorro. Jimmy Fallon, amid laughter and obvious curiosity, agreed to try the hard liquor, generating an immediate reaction from the audience and setting the relaxed tone of the interview.

After the lively opening, the conversation turned to “Will Trent,” the crime drama starring Rodríguez, based on the books by Karin Slaughter. The series has gained popularity both for its narrative intrigue and for the performance of the actor, who plays a special agent with a complex past and an unconventional approach to justice.

One of the most notable announcements of the night was the confirmation that the series took part of its production to Puerto Rico, a fact that Rodríguez described as a dream come true. “I just came from filming in Puerto Rico an episode of ‘Will Trent’ and I had the opportunity to direct it. It’s something incredible, as I’m very proud to be Puerto Rican and a Nuyorican (Puerto Rican born in the city of New York). To come back to the island and take the show there is a great honor. Of course, I taped the whole show drinking a spout... it was incredible,” said the actor while laughing.

The visit also served to highlight the professional moment that the actor is going through, who has managed to consolidate himself in Hollywood without disassociating himself from his Puerto Rican identity. Rodríguez was born in New York to Puerto Rican parents 46 years ago. In his career, he has been part of TV shows such as “Day Break” and “Marvel’s Iron Fist,” as well as films such as “Need for Speed,” “G20″ and “Lullaby,” among others.
