Introduction

Hemky Madera is a Dominican-American actor best known for his role in the series ”Queen of the South.”

Biography

He was born on January 26, 1977, in New York, US.

”I was born in NY by accident,” Madera told Authority Magazine. He added: ”My mother was seven months pregnant and went to go visit her family in NY from the Dominican Republic before giving birth. However, during her trip, there was a complication, and the doctors had to perform a c-section.”

He moved to Santiago, DR, at the age of two months.

”My father didn’t meet me until I was two months old,” Hemky said in another interview. ”He didn’t have a Visa at the time, so he was unable to travel to the states. So once we were cleared from the hospital, my mom took me back to the Dominican Republic.” 

Hemky began his acting career in the series Trio en Alta Mar and En La Olla.

After college, he moved to NYC.

In 2011, Madera performed as Carlos Saldana in six episodes of ”Caribe Road,” a web series that follows Mark Caribe (Hector Bustamante). Also in 2011, Hemky appeared in one episode of ”NCIS: Los Angeles.”

”I love what we have done with the show,” Madera confessed for MEAWW. He went on to say: ”We’ve taken the characters from the book, and created a show that is fun, sexy, and thrilling in many ways, but always respecting the characters to the core.”

”I knew that the character itself would grow if they respected the book, as the character grows as the book goes on,” he told TV Fanatic.
