Jayhernandezcasting_l Jay Hernandez (Hostel, Six Degrees) has been cast in Overture Films' upcoming family dramedy Humboldt Park. He joins John Leguizamo and Freddy Hernandez (Planet Terror) in the project, which is being directed by Alfredo De Villa (Adrift in Manhattan, Washington Heights). Shooting is scheduled to start next month as the script reportedly was written before the writers' strike.

I grew up in Bucktown and Humboldt Park was the place to be growing up. This promises to be something really good.

Humboldt Park, Chicago? I used to live there! By far one of the best neighborhoods in the city. The Steel Puerto Rican flags stand as a testament to the neighborhood's ethnic identity, though it had a different flavor some 25 years ago when parts of "My Bodyguard" where filmed there.

I can't wait to see this one!
