David Zayas

David Zayas (born August 15, 1962[2]) is a Puerto Rican actor. He is best known for his roles as Angel Batista on Showtime’s series Dexter, Osborne the cop in Rounders (1998), Enrique Morales on the HBO prison drama series Oz, Lou the bodega owner in Annie (2014) and Sal Maroni on Fox’s series Gotham, and General Garza in The Expendables (2010).

Zayas joined the United States Air Force at age 19[5] and was a police officer with the New York City Police Department for almost 15 years.[5] His experience as a police officer allowed him to develop as a character actor, leading to a series of acting jobs on television and film, mainly playing law enforcement officers, but playing characters on the other side of the law, as well, such as Enrique Morales on HBO’s long-running prison-drama Oz.[citation needed] Zayas was a main cast member of Dexter for all of its eight seasons.
