Jay Hernandez emerged onto the Hollywood scene opposite Kirsten Dunst in the 2001 film "Crazy/Beautiful." Since then he has starred in a number of films, including Disney's sleeper hit, "The Rookie," opposite Dennis Quaid, "Torque" with Ice Cube, "Ladder 49" with Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta, and the inspiring action drama "Friday Night Lights," alongside Billy Bob Thornton. Hernandez was most recently seen in the disturbing psychological thriller "Hostel," which opened No. 1 at the box office in January, displacing two blockbusters ("The Chronicles of Narnia" and "King Kong") that had been competing at the top of the chart for a month. Jay portrays Carlos in the TV series "Six Degrees."
Carlos is a New York City public defender. He's a hopeless romantic and a relentless optimist who just wants to help the people he defends - especially when he helps a young woman, Mae, off of a misdemeanor charge. After their first fleeting encounter, Carlos comes to believe their connection was a flicker of fate, and he sets off on a romantic journey to find Mae.
