Adam Rodríguez’s Detective Eric Delko may be vanishing from “CSI: Miami” in the upcoming eighth season, but the Cuban/Puerto Rican actor is reappearing everywhere else, it seems. “‘CSI’ was an amazing opportunity to develop my career,” the Yonkers-born Rodríguez said over the phone from Los Angeles. “I’m ready to explore any kind of [good] projects down the road on TV or the big screen.” So far, it’s going according to his plan. The 34-year-old with striking looks can currently be seen opposite singer Mary J. Blige and Taraji P. Henson in Tyler Perry’s dramedy “I Can Do Bad All by Myself,” which opened Friday and was the highest-grossing film of the weekend. He’s also joining ABC’s “Ugly Betty” for the upcoming season, premiering Oct. 9. He will play an old flame of Betty’s sister, Hilda, TVGuide.com reported. And he’s in three films yet to be released: the Latino thriller “A Kiss of Chaos,” “Let the Game Begin” (with Stephen Baldwin) and “Caught in the Crossfire,” a police corruption drama with rapper 50 Cent. “It’s not a secret that Latinos work harder,” said the actor, who splits time between L.A. and New York. “I’ve been working hard and waiting. Patience and hard work are paying off.”
