In the next week or so, we will be introducing our first son, Roman Alder Canto to the world. I feel immensely humbled and honored to have been given the blessing of Family. I thank God for allowing my wife and I to have met in such an unlikely place and time. I thank him for her heart, mind and spirit, that remind me daily of the man I strive to be. I thank him for the opportunity to raise a new soul with her, and to shape his mind with a solid foundation of Honor, Love, Strength and Understanding. In these trying times of separation and social distance, please receive our Love and best wishes. We are here for one another. And we will come out better than we were before once we leave all of this behind. @stephanie.a.canto #family #unity #strength Photo credit: @jeremyjacksonphoto

And just like that, Life got so much better. #dadlife #fatherhood #familyfirst @stephanie.a.canto
When I was a boy growing up in a small town in Mexico, I witnessed my father lead a life of Respect, Honor and Decency. I was blessed to have him as a model. He would go about his day shaking hands and sharing his time with government officials, family members, ranch workers, and employees. And every time I would see any of these encounters, I would see him behave in exactly the same way with everyone. Regardless of their socioeconomic status or the color of their skin, my Father would respect and honor the human being before him. I grew up seeing this every day of my Life. I pray to God that I may be as powerful of a model to my son as my father was to me. I pray that I may pass along the legacy of what it means to be a Man; The Leadership, Strength and Responsibility it entails. That despite the chaos erupting outside our doors, despite the inhumane behavior of those who have been sworn in to protect us and preserve law and order and then fail to do so, despite the animal-like behavior of people trying to cheat their way through Life, believing they’re entitled to things they have not worked for, scavenging and robbing from decent, hard working people, I pray that despite all of the turmoil of our days… a new time arises. And it will. These hard times will only make us stronger. My son will understand the ways of nature and its impecable order. He will learn from the seasons. He will know that there is a time to reap and a time to sow, a time for Life and a time for death, a time to kneel and a time to fight. He will love Life and all that is good. He will protect our innocent and defenseless. He will be a light for those who need guidance. And above all, he will know what it means to be a Man.
I’m thrilled and excited for all of you to watch #BRUISEDTHEMOVIE , a powerful film directed and starred by @halleberry , premiering at @TIFF_NET . Halle plays a washed-up MMA fighter whose passion for the sport is rekindled when her boyfriend, played by your truly, tricks her into attending an underground fight. Such an honor to work with such a great artist. A true actor’s Director.
