"Flamin' Hot" is a new movie inspired by the life of a maintenance man at Frito Lay, who helped create one of the most popular snack foods ever.
Longoria came to the ABC7 Chicago studios with actor Matt Walsh to tell Hosea Sanders how "Flamin' Hot" pays tribute to her Mexican heritage"I fell in love with Richard Montañez's story; for a Mexican janitor, to work his way up to a high level executive at a company like PepsiCo was truly inspiring," Longoria said. "And, to be the man responsible for one of my favorite snacks, Flamin' Hot, I thought, 'He's Mexican-American.
"Hollywood gets to define what heroes look like and they never look like Richard, they're never Brown, they never sound like my dad, they never look like us - me," Longoria said."They don't look like me either, let's be honest!" joked actor Matt Walsh "We don't get a lot of bites of the apple, there's not a lot of Latina filmmakers making major studio films, so I did feel like, we've got to get this right, if not, it's going to be another 20 years before they give us another chance," Longoria said.
