Puerto Rican actor Esai Morales began his acting career making waves in theater. He later debuted on-screen in "Bad Boys" and landed his breakthrough role in "La Bamba." Esai has since waved the Puerto Rican flag high with several achievements to his name.

In 1997, he co-founded the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts to help Latinos find opportunities in the entertainment industry and give scholarships to Hispanic children.

Most recently, Esai added another accomplishment to his list of achievements as he joined the cast of "Mission Impossible 7." Esai will replace Nicholas Hoult in the famous film franchise after the actor experienced scheduling conflicts.

Hoult was set to star as the film's antagonist alongside the lead actor, Tom Cruise, and other stars such as Rebecca Ferguson, Shea Whigham, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Vanessa Kirby, and more.

With a career that spanned decades, Esai has played different roles in various productions, making him a versatile actor. In the '90s, Esai appeared in the sci-fi thriller "Freejack," the family drama "My Family," and the military film "In the Army Now."

He also guest starred in several television shows until eventually landing a role on "NYPD Blue" as Lieutenant Tony Rodriguez. He has since appeared in other similar shows as minor characters, such as "CSI: Miami," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Major Crimes," "Criminal Minds," "Chicago P.D.," and "NCIS."
