Olmos' lecture is part of the Distinguished Speakers Series, presented by UB in conjunction with the Don Davis Auto World Lectureship Fund. The Amherst Chamber of Commerce is affiliate sponsor.
Co-sponsors of the Olmos presentation are the UB undergraduate Student Association and University Union Activities Board.
Olmos also has appeared in numerous television shows and films. He won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in HBO's "Burning Season."
He also directed "America Me," a stark look at the life of an Hispanic-American family, and served as producer of "Lives in Hazard," a gripping expose of gang life in America.
Perhaps less known by the public is Olmos' role as "unofficial" mayor of Los Angeles, where he helped restore neighborhoods following the 1992 riots.
Contributing sponsors of the Distinguished Speakers Series are the Buffalo Marriott, UB Center for the Arts, Makin' Copies and the UB Alumni Association.
