Yesterday, we had a non-poker celebrity sighting with Survivor's "Boston" Rob Mariano, and today we have television and movie actor Kirk Acevedo.
Acevedo, who has $59,000 in career tournament earnings, is probably best know for his role as Miguel Alvarez on the HBO show Oz. He appeared in 43 episodes from 1997-2003, and was nominated five times for the ALMA Outstanding Actor in a Television Series Award.
The 31-year old Brooklyn native has also appeared in CSI: NY, Prime Suspect, The Mentalist, Fringe, Cold Case, NYPD Blue, 24, and Law & Order SVU. He starred in every episode of the TV mini-series Band of Brothers, and is currently filming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Acevedo, who won his way into the tournament this morning, is off to a solid start, and currently sits with around 25,000 chips.
