Which actor plays Carlos in the 2006 quinceañera-themed film Quinceañera?

Jesse Garcia plays Carlos in the 2006 quinceañera-themed film Quinceañera.

Carlos is part of the family and neighborhood network surrounding Magdalena, the film’s central character. The role places Garcia within the movie’s ensemble of relatives and friends whose relationships are tested as Magdalena’s celebration approaches.

Quinceañera is a fictional independent feature directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. Its story examines how a family responds when a carefully planned ritual collides with unexpected circumstances. The quinceañera therefore functions as more than a party: it becomes a symbol of family reputation, religious expectation, and adulthood.

Garcia is sometimes confused with other Latino actors who have appeared in American and Mexican cinema, including Michael Peña, Gael García Bernal, and Diego Luna. They are different performers and are not the actor credited as Carlos in this film.
