Cuban born-Miami raised actor Yul Vazquez will play Delegate Herrera in the upcoming 20th Century Fox film Runner Runner, opposite Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake.

Runner Runner follows the life of Princeton grad student Richie (Justin Timberlake), who believes he's been swindled and travels to Costa Rica to confront an online gambling tycoon by the name of Ivan Block (Ben Affleck). Richie is seduced by Block's promise of immense wealth, until he learns the disturbing truth about his benefactor. When the FBI tries to coerce Richie to help bring down Block, Richie faces his biggest gamble ever: attempting to outmaneuver the two forces closing in on him.

Vazquez most recently appeared in the Starz drama "Magic City" opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Additionally he recurs in three other television shows, as 'Pedro' in FX's "Louie", as 'Christian' in CBS' "The Good Wife" and as 'Detective Anthony Nikolich' on HBO's "Treme".

He has had numerous roles on some of television's most popular shows. From his re-occurring character 'Bob,' the "angry gay Puerto Rican," on "Seinfeld," to one of Samantha's love interests on HBO's "Sex and the City," to 'Rueben the Cuban' on HBO's "The Sopranos".  Other television include "Law & Order: SVU" (NBC) and "Fringe" (Fox).

Runner Runner opens in theaters October 4th.
