He was on 21 Jump st. The chicks dug him big time. He was a Jersey Shore Guido, before it was cool to be a Jersey Shore Guido.

He had that James Dean type smoulder but just couldn’t act very well.

He was too busy hanging out at the Roxbury getting his arse grabbed by Steve and Doug Butabi.

What happened to Andy Garcia after 1990? To me that's a bigger mystery. The Untouchables followed by his Oscar nomination in Godfather III. For some reason I always thought this guy's career fell short somehow even though he's stayed busy over the years in smaller roles and projects.

My hypothesis is he came from the same show as Johnny Depp. Both had the looks but Depp could act. I think because they were on the same show Grieco was compared to Depp more closely.

Plus, Grieco went off to do the spin off Booker while Depp stay on Jumpstreet. Maybe trying to carry a show on his own was too much for his skill set at the time. Depp stayed on Jumpstreet until he went off to do Edward Scissorhands.

His look was very 80s. That look only worked to a certain age.

One of the worst over actors in Hollywood, I thought.

Garcia had the occasional tendency to chew up the scenery in a scene.

The bigger question is what happened to James Van Der Beek
