Raymond Cruz quotes:

I went to college and studied writing, and I got involved in theater. It's always been my passion.

When I was a kid, they bussed us down to a screening of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' in an old theater, and it was just a great experience.

I became fascinated by the fact that you could translate written material into performance.

I try to stay in the best physical shape that I can because I do most of my own stunts. It looks amazing if you can do it, but I dont advocate it because you always get injured.

I watch a lot of television and I watch a lot of film and I hate when you watch the action sequences - and I always tell when they use a stunt man - and then they put the actor in and you can tell these actors haven't done anything...

I'm very physical. I grew up boxing. I've done almost all of my own stunts in movies and in television.

Live theatre provides a rush you can't get in film or television. But it is the TV and film work that offers the leisure to go off and do a play.
