So, he goes and says ‘mom, mi cumpleaños, June 28th, remember?’ And, she doesn’t even remember his birthday because she was one of them fancy free women if you will and so she looks at him and says ‘oh, yeah, it’s your birthday!” I think why it resonates with people so much - Miklo’s birthday - is because they see a guy that really has nobody. His mother was a very difficult woman and abandoned him when he was young and he comes to see her after he gets into a fight with his Anglo father and he misses the Chicano spirit - the warmth, the love that he got from his Mexican side of the family. “I think that one of the lines that is very important to people - there are many lines but Miklo’s character was a guy who was supposed to have a good life and go straight. He says the idea is taken directly from one of the many memorable lines found in the movie. He says of the 56 movies that he’s been in, Blood In Blood Out remains his favorite.Ĭhapa says the twist of hosting a birthday bash celebration for his character is what helps make tonight’s Meet and Greet unique. Blood In Blood Out is an American crime-drama that follows the three lives of Chicano relatives and whose life’s events take them from the street gang in East Los Angeles and for some of them inside California’s San Quentin State Prison.Ĭhapa, who is taking a break from filming, tells the Seguin Daily News that even after all these years, fans of the movie have been some of the most loyal in the industry. The birthday bash is the first of its kind for Chapa’s Meet and Greet Tour which is being held in celebration of the film’s 26th year anniversary. Damian Chapa, who portrayed Miklo, in the 1993 film Blood In Blood Out will be visiting with fans during today’s Meet and Greet Birthday Bash being held at The El Fiesta Ballroom. (Seguin) - The star of one of America’s most popular cult classics will be in Seguin tonight celebrating his character’s birthday.
