“#Andy Garcia Previews Cruz’s Courtroom Showdown<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

We would argue that Rebel<\/i><\/a> didn\u2019t get a fair trial. ABC recently canceled the drama starring Katey Sagal<\/a> as consumer advocate Annie \u201cRebel\u201d Bello (inspired by Erin Brockovich), who crusades for justice with her close friend, hot-tempered lawyer Julian Cruz (a stellar Andy Garcia<\/a>, above).<\/p>\n

In Thursday\u2019s eighth and final episode, the verdict comes down in their season-long fight against the manufacturer of a faulty heart valve. We spoke to the actor before the bad news<\/a> broke.<\/p>\n

How would you describe Cruz\u2019s relationship with Rebel?<\/b><\/p>\n

Andy Garcia:<\/strong> A platonic love affair. They met young \u2014 their kids were in preschool. They push each other\u2019s buttons, but there\u2019s love and respect. God forbid you should try to come between them!<\/p>\n

They also share grief over the loss of Cruz\u2019s wife, Sharon, who was Rebel\u2019s best friend. Does pain drive him?<\/b><\/p>\n

He tries to lose himself in work but has a hole in his heart that\u2019s impossible to heal even though it might not bleed as constantly. He talks to [Sharon], an idea I had for the character. I told Krista [Vernoff, the show\u2019s creator] that I\u2019d like a piano in my office \u2014 that\u2019s where Cruz finds solace. What I play is an improvisation on a theme<\/a> that I wrote.<\/p>\n

So you\u2019re both musical. How else is Cruz like you?<\/b><\/p>\n

When I was sent the material, it was not specific who he was other than Hispanic. It was an opportunity to make Cruz someone of my culture, to honor the people that came, like I did, from Cuba in the early 1960s fleeing a dictatorship, pursuing basic human rights. Cruz\u2019s background motivated him to be a lawyer. My father was a lawyer in Cuba. He\u2019s no longer around, but everything he was is in Cruz.<\/p>\n

Do you talk to your dad, as Cruz does with his late wife?<\/b><\/p>\n

I talk to all the guys and gals up there. They\u2019re watching.<\/p>\n

\"Andy<\/p>\n

What can we expect in Thursday\u2019s courtroom showdown between passionate Cruz and the opposing counsel, slick Benji Ray, one of Rebel\u2019s ex-husbands?<\/b><\/p>\n

Benji [James Lesure] and [Cruz] are colleagues, but on the opposite sides of the train tracks of the law. There\u2019s respect, but if you misbehave, you\u2019re going to hear it.<\/p>\n
