the Workhouse Theatre in Tribeca and then eventually became a founding member of Axis Theatre Company, The Hot Box Theatre and Room 203.
On TV, Hernandez has appeared on Law and Order, Ringer, The Nine, 24, and The Closer. He has also been cast on the FX series The Americans as Agent Chris Amador. On the big screen, he is credited for his work in The Avengers, Thor, Hotel for Dogs and Pride and Glory.
