American actor of Cuban descent Laz Alonso is the star of My Dad The Bounty Hunter, in Spanish Mi papá el cazador intergaláctico, the children's series that Netflix just released.

In this action, comedy and science fiction animated series, the artist plays Terry, a father who secretly works as a bounty hunter in the galaxy away from his family.

According to the IMDb synopsis, this character's life becomes complicated when his two sons accidentally travel to space, sneak into one of his father's missions and discover that he is the toughest bounty hunter in the galaxy and has a far from boring job, as he spends his time dodging dangerous aliens and fighting in the middle of laser battles.

The series consists of 10 episodes, each almost 30 minutes long, and although it is very entertaining, it also brings several messages for families.

The popular film and television actor is known especially for his role as Fenix as an antagonist in the Fast & Furious franchise, in addition to voicing the character of Tsu'tey in the 2009 installment of Avatar.

Although he was born in the United States and has developed his entire career in that country, Laz Alonso maintains many of his Cuban roots.

In a Netflix promotional video, the actor shared some of his favorite parts of his parents' culture such as ropa vieja, one of the typical dishes of island cuisine, Cuban music and in particular salsa, and declared himself a fan of Celia Cruz.

The "asere qué bolá" is one of his favorite phrases from the popular slang of the Caribbean country, but he is also a great admirer of Cuban athletes and their talent, particularly boxer Yordenis Ugás.

The actor shared his experience visiting Cuba and being able to spend time with relatives he didn't know and having the opportunity to feel the warmth and energy of his people.

"When you grow up in the United States, outside the home you are no longer Cuban, I was a Black man in Washington D.C., but inside the home I was Cuban," Laz Alonso confessed.
