Even from the beginning of his career, Hector has starred in many, landmark Cuban films such as Boleto al Paraíso ("Ticket to Paradise," 2010) and The Human Thing, 2016. By 2015, Hector becomes internationally recognized as a rising talent while working on The King of Havana by acclaimed Spanish director Agustí Villaronga.
