He looked the part, tall, nice looking, sunny personality, although I never heard him sing. He was in his early twenties, and was kind of having trouble figuring out something to do in life, post Menudo. I saw that he went out a lot and partied, but I have no idea what else he did with his time, and my friend didn't date him for too long. He still seemed somewhat bummed about being given mandatory retirement from Menudo, when he became too old or too tall or whatever to be in the group. Unlike Ricky, I don't think the music opportunities were presenting themselves. I think someone should do a documentary about the 200-300 ex-Menudites out there, and what has become of them.
