An actor in this day and age often finds it advantageous to diversify their audience. It's not enough to appeal to only the rarefied indie connoisseur, the excitable fanboy, or the swooning romcom fiend. Nor is it enough to stick to only one screen, large or small — especially with the growing prestige of channels like HBO and Showtime, there's no shame in television any longer. Yet even within the small sphere of television, to stick to one genre or format isn't enough.
Ramirez, having conquered indie film, action beat-em-ups, HBO, animation, and more, has also dabbled in reality TV, and appeared to have had great fun doing it. His most notable appearance was as a judge on cycle eight of America's Next Top Model alongside Sister Sister star Tia Mowry, to foster and assess the contestants' performances during an acting challenge. Appropriately enough, the episode was entitled "The Girl Who Impresses Pedro."
