Andy Garcia
Actor
Home country: Cuba
He earned an Academy Award nomination for playing an Italian mobster in The Godfather III, but Andy Garcia was actually born in Havana, Cuba. After the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion, a five-year-old Garcia left Cuba for Miami, where the family set up a successful perfume business. Garcia speaks out regularly on behalf of Cuban political prisoners and in favor of democratic change on the island.
