ESAI MORALES
For years, award-winning actor Esai Morales has exhibited his outstanding acting talents on television, in theater and in films. Since his feature film debut in BAD BOYS opposite Sean Penn, the actor has continuously offered performances that strongly resonate in the hearts and minds of his audience. Presently, Morales stars in the new Syfy series Caprica, the prequel to the hit series Battlestar Galactica. Morales is also involved in many non-profit organizations, including the National Hispanic Foundation—which he cofounded with actors Jimmy Smits and Sonia Braga — that works to advance the presence and quality of Latinos in media, telecommunications and entertainment.
Turning up at Hollywood events on his bicycle, Ed has been considered an environmental leader in the Hollywood community for many years. He has served as chairman of the Environmental Media Association, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. He still serves on those boards, as well as the Thoreau Institute, the Earth Communications Office, Tree People and Friends of the Earth, among many others. His work in the environmental community has earned him a number of awards from some of the most prestigious environmental groups in the nation, including the California League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council, The Coalition for Clean Air, Heal the Bay and the Santa Monica Baykeeper. He currently lives near Los Angeles in a self-sufficient home powered by solar energy.
