Deco likes to be where the action is. That’s why we hooked up with our pal, action actor Gabriel “G-Rod” Rodriguez. His career is blowing up, and if you want tough, look no further than Deco’s fist of fury, Alex Miranda.

His career is blowing up, but he always has time to hang out with Deco.

Gabriel “G-Rod” Rodriguez: “I’m an action actor. That has a true appeal for me, a true gratifying nature for me.”
G-Rod was hungry to tell Deco what he’s been up to. We hooked up with him in Sunrise at Lombardi’s Pizza, not our usual spot for an interview.

No matter where his career takes him, G-Rod will always have a soft spot for his adopted home.

The film is due to be released in August.
