Jonathan Seda (born October 14, 1970) is an American actor, possibly best known for his role as Detective Paul Falsone on NBC's Homicide: Life on the Street.
Seda was an amateur boxer who, in 1992, auditioned for and was given a role in the film Gladiator. He portrayed Chris Pérez alongside Jennifer Lopez in Selena and became widely known to both the Hispanic and non-Hispanic communities. He has made numerous television appearances, and appeared as legendary Marine John Basilone in Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's follow up to Band of Brothers, The Pacific. Seda currently stars in the HBO series, Treme.
Seda's parents moved from Puerto Rico to Manhattan, New York, where he was born. They moved to a neighborhood in Clifton, New Jersey shortly after his birth. There, he received his primary and secondary education; after graduating from high school, Seda started to work out in a gym after two friends convinced him that he should take up boxing. He boxed in several gyms in New Jersey and soon was a runner up in the New Jersey Golden Gloves competition. As an amateur boxer, Seda had a record of 21 wins and one loss.
Crossed over to the spirit world
Was like walking through fire
Familiar faces all around me
Waiting to see me
We talk, but no one speaks
Shrouded in eerie, white bliss
This is what I have seen
When worlds collide – sound like thunder
When worlds collide – ocean of rain
When worlds collide
Walked amongst ghosts and men
I prefer the dark side
Specter, haunt me no longer
I am you now
We touch, but no one feels
Covered in Holy light
This is how it is
When worlds collide – sound like thunder
When worlds collide – ocean of rain
When worlds collide – sound like thunder
When worlds collide – ocean of rain
We talk, but no one speaks
Shrouded in eerie, white bliss
This is what I have seen
When worlds collide – sound like thunder
When worlds collide – ocean of rain
When worlds collide – sound like thunder
When worlds collide – ocean of rain
Ocean of rain
