Summary

An icon of the screen, the craft, and a shining example of the American Dream. Andy Garcia has been in all your favorite movies - and he’s also probably your Mom’s celebrity crush. This week on a long-awaited South Beach Sessions, Dan and Andy connect on their shared Miami roots as the children of Cuban exiles and Andy's legacy of creating work that is a loving tribute to their culture and history. Andy paints the story of how his father came to America with next to nothing, unable to return home to Cuba, and built a million-dollar business… and why Andy turned away from all that to pursue his passion in the arts. Together, they reflect on how they've honored their families in their careers, and the surprising lessons and relationships they've experienced. Learn more about your ad choices.
