He is a fascinating man, aside from the acting. He isn't Latino, he's Jewish. He patterned the character in the commercials after a good friend, Fernando Lamas (yes, that Lamas, father to Lorenzo). He's acted in Westerns alongside John Wayne — even though he couldn't ride a horse. He goes to a boat show and buys a dog. LOL He has saved people's lives on more than one occasion. And he's a humanitarian! However, a commercial does not top my other experiences one bit. My saving a man’s life on Mt. Whitney in a snowstorm, saving a little girl from drowning in the ocean as well as a dog who fell through the ice is much more important to me. I’ve been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with disabled and at-risk children since I was 18… and that was a long time ago. I started working with disabled children, children in protective custody from their own parents and children who were in prisons as violent offenders. I have also been involved as a founding member of Free Arts for Abused Children. It is composed of artists in many mediums, who bring art programs to various institutions providing a non-threatening environment for the young people to express themselves. Through art, their social workers and counselors can frequently gain insight that helps the healing process. Yeah. I'm a fan. http://www.jewishjournal.com/hollywood_jew/article /dos_equis_pitchman_is_jewish_actor_living_in_marina_del_rey_20100504 http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/02/07/interesting http://www.npr.org/2015/06/20/415835643/the-man-behind-the-most-interesting-man-is-interesting-too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Goldsmith http://www.primermagazine.com/2011/live/interview-jonathan-goldsmith-most-interesting-man-in-the-world
