Alejandro de Hoyos, "The Latino James Bond" as he is called by press is the lead actor and executive producer of El Contratista/The Contractor (Now on Tubi & Amazon Prime). De Hoyos just wrapped filming The Man from Toronto, an upcoming American action comedy film directed by Patrick Hughes and starring Kevin Hart (Jumanji, Night School), Woody Harrelson (Zombieland, The Hunger Games) and Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory, The Flight Attendant). The Man from Toronto is scheduled to be released on September 17, 2021 by Sony Pictures Releasing. Upcoming films and TV shows also include the feature film Free Dead or Alive with Robert Avellanet (Menudo), Edy Ganem (Devious Maids) and Patricia Velasquez (The Mummy) and Netflix's I Think You Should Leave, an American sketch comedy television show on Netflix with SNL's Tim Robinson. De Hoyos is also currently in pre-production of the feature film The Mexican Connection where he will play the lead role and will be the executive producer.

Alejandro's acting career includes blockbusters such as Clear and Present Danger with Harrison Ford, and award-winning tv series such as General Hospital and The Bold and The Beautiful. He has worked in over 200 commercials including Northwestern Mutual Travel's Ad campaign, which was shot in exotic locations across Europe including glaciers, deserts, beaches and historic cities. It premiered during the 2020 Rose Bowl online and to millions of viewers. 
 

As a businessman, by age 22 De Hoyos had produced concerts for internationally renowned musical acts including Laura Brannigan, Lupita D'Alessio, José José and disco sensation Sylvester while he worked as manager of Mexico City's largest Private Night Club- The Magic Circus. De Hoyos, who is also a Black-belt in the Polynesian art of self-defense Limalama, also produced major heavy-weight  kickboxing events during is time as club manager at the Magic Circus. 
 

In addition to his work as  an actor, as manager and producer,  De Hoyos is also a successful businessman. He owns 9 businesses that range from medical to his own production company. His production company Alta California Pictures  was created in response to a cry for the need of inclusion of Latinos in the film industry, for  the need of more roles that do not focus on a stereotypical depiction of Latinos. De Hoyos took action. If the roles desired for Latinos in the industry were not available, and if the quality of the work desired was not there, then it is up to Latinos themselves such as he to create this product instead of waiting for someone else to make it and deliver it.
