That's not all, the father of eleven has always had a musical inkling, and he hasn't given up. He delved into a series of genres with some of his releases, from Salsa to sensual reggae, to RnB and even country rock!
Some of his songs are "My My My Miami" which was Miami's official anthem in 1993, "Hot Sex-Z Lady," "You Can Always Depend On Me," "All My Love," and "Passion Fruit."

"...That stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Hopefully, in the next five years, I will win all those awards."
The veteran actor may not have been able to win these awards, but it didn't hinder him from passing down his musical prowess to his daughter, Imaj, who is a delectable country songstress.
Detective Rico may be older but still has it; he never lost his boyish swag. He has a more fatherly feel to his look now, but he is keeping it all tight with his nicely groomed beards.
He is still quite the charmer, and while he's fulfilling daddy duties by hanging out with his kids, he wears an unwavering appearance!
