Tyler Dean Flores

From his debut role in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises," to portraying the true story of a young Miami-based artist killed by police, Puerto Rican-American actor Tyler Dean Flores has proved that from blockbuster hits to gritty indie darlings, he can do it all. This year, Tyler will star as Israel "Reefa" Hernandez in Vertical Entertainment's upcoming drama "Reefa."
