He plays Danny Taylor on CBS's Without a Trace with such
perfection that it's a mystery Enrique Murciano didn't become a
big-screen lead sooner. This month he stars opposite Sandra Bullock
in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, as a naive FBI agent.
The 31 year old's character may be clueless, but off-screen this man
knows who he is and what he wants.
There's one easy way to drive him crazy.
That scent of a woman's scalp, right around the crown of her head
"my God! When I first meet a woman, I have this very swift move: I
go in for a hug and do a quick inhale as I pass the crown of her
head. I want to know what my children might smell like.
When he falls for a woman, he falls hard.
I'm the guy who turns a date into a three year relationship. If I
muster up the courage to ask someone out, it's because I'm already
head over heels for her. Once I've done the at and we've gone out
"as long as she smells okay" I allow myself to fall in love.
He has a terrific sense of rhythm.
The dancing I'm best at is when it becomes two bodies communicating.
I love being with a woman I'm crazy about in a dark sweaty club, not
saying a word, and having her body move at the same time as mine.
It's very sensual. I'm Cuban, and even the way I kiss has a Cuban
beat. Top lip first, bottom lip second"
He knows just where he'd like to be in five years.
It's lunchtime, I'm on the set of a movie I'm passionate about. My
wife is there, wearing jeans, a white tank top, and a sweater I
bought her wrapped around her waist. My daughters are with her.
We're sitting down for lunch, and hopefully, I'll be smart enough to
take a minute to take it all in and say, "Man, I'm lucky. I've got
it all." It happens when it happens. I'm looking for the dream come
true if it's out there. My phone number is 310..."
