Andy Garcia: biography
Andy García is a talented American actor, a director and a composer. Garcia`s Spanish roots allowed him to create the whole gallery of recognizable images. The role of the mafia in the cult cycle of Francis Coppola's The Godfather Part III nominated the actor for several prestigious awards for the role of the second plan.
Despite strict moral principles and the absence of scandals around him, García became famous in Hollywood and around the world, where people watch American films.
Childhood and youth
Andrés Arturo García Menéndez was born on 12 April 1956 in Havana, Cuba. The family of his parents are an English teacher Amelie Menéndez and a lawyer René García Núñez; they lived quite prosperously. So after the revolution, the family fled Communist Cuba to the United States and settled in Miami Beach. The former lawyer was engaged in the manufacture of perfumes and achieved success there.
Young Andrés García studied in the United States. Andy was a popular, handsome and athlete student at school, he dreamed of playing baseball professionally. However, he contracted mononucleosis and hepatitis and had to leave dangerous sports. As a result, the actor's career was chosen.
Andy García studied acting with Jay W. Jensen, who brought up a lot of talented actors. He taught Brett Ratner, Roy Firestone, Mickey Rourke, and Luther Campbell. Despite successes at Florida International University, García relocated in Los Angeles in 1978, where he played in independent theatre troupes, periodically appearing on television.
Films
The actor starred in two dozen projects for ten years. Fame came in 1990 with the release of the movie The Godfather Part III, where García played Vincent "Winnie" Mancini, the insidious and temperamental mafia, the illegitimate son of Santino Corleone. Andy was Oscar Award- and Golden Globe Award-nominated for this role. As a result, the directors began to invite the actor to the role of gangsters or, in extreme cases, brutal police.
People sometimes confuse Andy García with Mark Strong, the British actor of Italian origin. We can find photos of both actors in the collections of twin stars. Perhaps the information that Andy García is 70 feet (178 cm) tall and Strong is ten centimeters higher will help film fans distinguish their favorites easily.
In 2004, García played the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani in the film Modigliani.

Elsa Zylberstein allowed him to work passionately and violently in the movie Modigliani.

García learned to speak with a Georgian accent and gesticulate while watching Saakashvili's YouTube videos to prepare for the role. The actor appears in the role of the fictional US president Andrew Palma in the fantastic reality of the thriller Geostorm.
Generally reliability comes with age: in the sci-fi melodrama Passengers, Andy turns to Norris, the admiral of the space fleet. García plays a general of the army of the rebels, Enrique Gorostieta Velarde in the Mexican drama For Greater Glory. He is the mayor of New York in Ghostbusters.
