And I have been honored to know him.
His verdict on the script, which got his seal of approval: “I’m ready.
Let’s go make magic.”
And so we did…eight episodes worth.
Hector was heavily involved in the creation of those ballroom scenes.
Carefully watching, always gently correcting, always enthusiastic.
As a director, his direction of ME and what I was doing was invaluable.
The thing that struck me about Hector, always, was his kindness.
He was perhaps the greatest SURVIVOR I had ever met.
And with POSE, perhaps, things were indeed on the upswing.
He loved acting and wanted to do more of it…that door had opened for him.
How I wish we had the time to make more of his dreams come true.
Like so many hundreds if not thousands of people, I loved him.
And I have been honored to know him.
RIP, my friend Hector.
How lucky and blessed I was to have met you.
You will always be one of my heroes.
