While working at a bar in Beverly Hills he received advice from veteran movie star Sylvester Stallone, "Create your own opportunities". That stuck with him. While working as an assistant on the Twentieth Century Fox lot, Arevalo met director Robert Rodriguez whom he struck up a friendship with, who then offered him the unforgettable role of the Opponent, the guy with the broken leg in the 1995 blockbuster film Desperado starring Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. Thanks to his friend (Salma Hayek), Arevalo was chosen to play a role as (Miguel Fuentes) one of her brothers in the film Fools Rush In, starring Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek, directed by Andy Tennant.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
