“I always say that I never forgot where I came from,' Guzmán said. 'And this movie gives me an opportunity to amplify that.” - NBCLatino

“Hold On”tells the story of an aspiring singer, played by Micayla De Ette and based on her off-screen life, who is embarking on a singing career as she struggles to help her brother overcome addiction and keep her family together.

Inside this story about overcoming great adversity, Guzmán says, there is a bigger story about finding and keeping faith to survive. “This movie is not so much about an underdog, but really about having faith and not giving up,” he tells NBC News. “So many people these days do those battles and lose those battles because they give up. And this movie is about believing in yourself and standing up for yourself.”

“I always say that I never forgot where I came from," Guzmán adds."And this movie gives me an opportunity to amplify that through the use of faith, the use of love and the use of inspiration.” Guzmán, who has more than 110 film and 30 television credits to his name, in fact got his first acting opportunity while looking for a missing youth from his social worker program. A friend he met unexpectedly encouraged him to audition for a part in the 1980s hit TV show “Miami Vice.” That break ultimately opened the door to other parts in big budget movies and recent TV successes such as Showtime’s “Shameless” and Epix’s new show “Godfather of Harlem.
