Actor Jay Hernandez stars in the movie THE LONG GAME, directed by Julio Quintana.

In this interview, Jay talks about what attracted him to this project, his character and about the message of the film.

THE LONG GAME, inspired by the book “Mustang Miracle” written by Humberto G.

Garcia, follows the true story of five young Mexican American caddies in 1955 who created their own golf course in the middle of the South Texas brush country.

Despite outdated and inferior equipment and no professional instruction to begin with, they would go on to compete against wealthy, all-white teams and win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship.

Alongside Hernandez, THE LONG GAME stars Dennis Quaid and comedy legend Cheech Marin, who returns to the green for a charming, heartfelt performance for the first time since Tin Cup.

Newcomers Julian Works and Paulina Chavez give marquee performances opposite Jaina Lee Ortiz, Brett Cullen, and the hilarious and lovable Oscar Nuñez.

In addition to directing, Quintana also wrote the script alongside Paco Farías and Jennifer Stetson; produced by Javier Chapa, Ben Howard, Dennis Quaid, Marla Quintana and Laura Quaid executive produced by Jay Hernandez, Phillip Braun, Christian Sosa, Simon Wise, Colleen Barshop and Vincent Cordero.
