De los Reyes also played the demon Jobe in the fourth season ofSleepy Hollow, and Ryan Caradine onThe Rookie.
De los Reyes starred as a Chicano boxer named Pedro 'Roadman' Quinn, in 1994's acclaimed theatrical production ofBlade to the Heat.[1]
The most arresting figure, however, is Mr. de los Reyes. More than any words he utters, the actor's haunted eyes, sunken cheeks and shaved head convey the extent of Pedro's torment. In repose, he's almost spectral. In the ring, he's like a short circuit, and his silent scream of triumph is a guaranteed spine-tingler.
— David Richards, theater reviewer forThe New York Times[1]
