Luis Guzman is well-known for his varied movie appearances, and the actor is going to honored with the Latinovator Award at Hispanicize 2015.

Guzman, who was born in Puerto Rico, will be awarded in March when the sixth annual Hispanicize takes place in Miami, according to Hispanicize Wire. Hispanicize aims to recognize Latinos in film, media and music. The event is running from March 16-20 at the InterContinental Hotel.

"Luis is a standout, crossover actor who in his 30-plus years in show business is best known for his character actor and cameo roles in dozens upon dozens of incredibly well known films," said Manny Ruiz, organizer and creative director of Hispanicize 2015.

Guzman has more than 100 film and TV credits.

Recently, Guzman was cast as a guest star on Showtime's "Roadies," Variety reported earlier this month. The show follows a rock band, but the story is told through the perspective of the people who work for the band. Guzman will be playing the tour bus driver.

Guzman also participated in 2015's "Don Quixote: The Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha." This movie was written and directed by James Franco's USC students, notes The Hollywood Reporter.

Hispanicize reports that Guzman first gained acting fame in the 1980s with a role on "Miami Vice."

Guzman won't be the only Latino to be honored with a Latinovator award. Popular YouTube vlogger Dulce Candy will also receive an award. In total, four people will be awarded, and each will have his or her own ceremony.

"Each of the Latinovators will be presented with their awards individually at Hispanicize 2015 as part of a special general session where they will talk about their inspirations, business habits and road to success," the Hispanicize Wire site reports.
