- Andrew S. Cortez, standing tall at 6'3," is an actor with a commanding presence originating from San Antonio, Texas. His deep voice resonates with gravitas, and his intense gaze has been described by actor Brian D. Anderson (I) as so powerful it "could turn Medusa to Stone."
Cortez's dynamic life journey started as a firefighter and paramedic, roles which required strength, empathy, and decisive action, all qualities that have enriched his acting performances. He honed his acting skills at San Antonio College, building a robust foundation for his craft.
Upon retiring from his initial career, Cortez found his way back to the stage and screen, rekindling his love for the craft while participating in the historical drama, "Eyes of a Roman." His role, depicting a Barbarian involved in a Roman civilian massacre, allowed him to further explore the depth of his acting prowess.
In his evolving career, Cortez has demonstrated his versatility on both the theatre stage and the film set. His work extends beyond the borders of the United States, into England and various parts of Europe including Germany, Austria, and Spain. With each performance, he brings his unique presence and deep commitment to his craft, establishing a reputation in the industry that continues to grow.

- Andrew's Bodyguard in Death Merchant: City of Insurrection, is actually his Son Nicholas.
- In The American Alien, the Belgian Malinois with Andrew ( Border Patrol K9 Officer) is his personal K9 Clegane.
- How Clegane got his name: When Andrew rescued him, he was called Captain by the shelter staff. Neither of them liked the name. Andrew was binge watching Game of Thrones at that time and renamed Captain after The Hound... Sandor Clegane.
- On the set of "Eyes of a Roman", Director C J Goodwyn referred to Andrew as " that big pissed off guy".
- Referring to Eyes of a Roman: Honestly I just went because I thought it would be fun to smash some skulls in a battle scene. Then C J Goodwyn needed a big creepy dude to come out of the fog with a torch and assassinate a guard. When I heard the comments from the other cast and crew, I was hooked.
