In the profile, Consuelos describes how he got into acting by "happenstance," and why it is so important to him that Latinos and diversity are represented in the entertainment industry.
He also spoke about the honor of being named grand marshal of the Los Angeles Mexican Independence Parade.
"What a gift it was," Consuelos said. "I got to go to the Mexican consulate and meet all the people that were responsible for the parade. That was really great. And I got to honor my father, who came to this country when he was a teenager from Mexico."
