I've seen several comments from people who say they don't believe the story why James changed his name when he first started out in Hollywood. So I thought I'd share this interview from 2011 which was the first time I ever heard him talk about it. (If anyone remembers an older interview lmk!)
He also explains the origin of the name “Roday”, which is not a shortened version of “Rodriguez” like some people seem to think.
Also, as a bonus, the interview he gave at the 2009 ALMA Awards where he speaks about why his Spanish isn’t that great:
(Spoiler alert: He did not go full-throttle on getting his Spanish back. 😂)
