Alumni's honored Comedian and Actor Rudy Moreno on the tube tonight

Rudy Moreno, alumnus from the Class of 1974, has had a rewarding career as a stand-up comic for years, with a little break for acting here and there for variety. Rudy had even been the Grand Marshal, as I recall, in an earlier Lincoln Heights parade some years back. Tonight you will get to see him as an actor in "Criminal Minds", a CBS crime drama that should be on at 9 p.m. according to the latest email notice received.

Rudy's on-screen characters have been pretty quirky fellows in the past, if you recall NBC's "Kingpin" miniseries about a wealthy Latino druglord and the operations in the U.S. and Mexico. Rudy continued with some other character individuality in an episode of "The Shield," starring the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning Michael Chiklis. Rudy played a school board member arrested in a sting while carrying a bag full of toys, the adult kind, but evaded being charged with any crime as a political favor.

Tune in to see if what kind of character he becomes tonight.
