How many award nominations has Jon Huertas received?

For six seasons, Jon Huertas starred as Miguel Rivas and directed multiple episodes of NBC's This Is Us (2016). His heartwarming portrayal of a character who spans decades, the 1970s through present day, allowed him to show not only exceptional but also a physically transformative range that captured the hearts of millions of viewers weekly. Audiences will also know him as the tough but affable Detective Javier Esposito from ABC's hit dramedy Castle (2009), as well as for his standout performance as Sgt. Tony "Poke" Espera in HBO's limited docudrama series Generation Kill (2008), where he offered an unheralded streetwise view of the Marine Corps invasion of Iraq that Huertas, being a veteran himself, calls the most meaningful role of his career. As one of a few Latinx actors who've broken the ceiling in mainstream television portraying characters who transcend not only Latinx audiences but also the general market, he's known as an everyman to fans and an industry that is ripe to continue the trend of telling diverse but universal stories.
