While there is representation on screen, there's not enough of the right representation, but that isn't the case with “The Garcias.” “This cast is a representation of who we are in and out of this country and shows us in the most beautiful light,” Bobby Gonzalez, who plays George Garcia, shared during the press day for “The Garcias.”
