The actor, best known for his work on CSI: Miami and now Criminal Minds, is celebrating his 51st birthday on Thursday. Born and raised in Yonkers, New York, by a Puerto Rican/Cuban dad and mom, Rodríguez turned his attention to acting when he was a teenager. Initially, he hoped to be a professional baseball player, but a high school injury prevented him from pursuing that dream.
Throughout the 1990s, Rodríguez appeared in various films and TV shows, including The X-Files, Brooklyn South, Law & Order, Felicity, Roswell, NYPD Blue and was featured in music videos for multiple singers, including 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Jennifer Lopez and more. While taking those smaller acting gigs, Rodriguez worked as a stockbroker.

Two years after CSI: Miami ended, the actor starred in Magic Mike alongside Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello and Matthew McConaughey. The comedy followed Adam (Pettyfer), who entered the male stripping industry after dropping out of college at 19 years old. Though Magic Mike is very different from his role on CSI: Miami, Rodriguez told NBC Latino in 2012 that the script had "depth and substance" and something he "really understood."
Rodriguez returned for the two other installments for the Magic Mike series, released in 2015 and 2023, respectively, reprising his role as Tito.
