The actor, who was born in East Los Angeles, was among the celebrities who were arrested for trespassing to thwart U.S. navy bombing exercises on Vieques. "I believe it is wrong to practice near where people live, period," he said in a press conference in 2001. He trespassed onto the firing range in a fishing boat along with environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy and New York labour leader Dennis Rivera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy-Vieques_protests |
