		Jimmy is his given name, and although he had a favorite godmother whose private nickname for him was Jimbo and he did a brief stint as a "Smitty" in high school, there's not a James to be found anywhere near the birth certificate.
		Jimmy was born in Manhattan, but moved frequently, partly, he remembers, because of his father's health and partly because of his father's love of poker.
		Smits is close to both kids, now adults and both still living on the East Coast, but he admits that it was tough on everyone at the time.

		Smits said he likes his character because he's a professional who happens to be a minority, not vice versa.
		At 6 feet 3 inches and 196 pounds, Smits would have had little problem getting cast as a gang member in one of the low-budget warrior films that were being mass-produced in the late 1970s.

	Hispanic Magazine.com - March 2005 - Jimmy Smits
		It’s all good for Smits, who has a deal with Disney to develop a series for ABC next season as a producer and star—though, if his West Wing role should continue, he could find another actor to lead that project.
		Part of their concern was practical: Smits had fathered a daughter, Taina, at age 17, and the family had banded together to help him get through Brooklyn College.
		Smits’ solution is for Hispanics to create their own projects, which is why he helped found the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts in 1997.

	Some thoughts on Jimmy Smits' departure
		When Smits joined the show, he was stepping into a difficult situation, not just because he was replacing the then-popular Caruso, but because his part was being created on the fly.
		But Jimmy's too good an actor to be anybody's second banana, and as long as he was on this show, he probably would have been.
		As comforting as it is to watch Smits and Franz communicate without words, the downside to that comfort factor is that it can get a little dull after a while.
