airtommy Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Anwar Zayden is an actor who appears twice on Miami Vice. In El Viejo he plays the Bolivian drug lord Mendez. In Badge of Dishonor he plays the drug dealer Alfredo Morega who gets pulled over by the corrupt cops and shot, body flying into the river. Apparently this guy is a very flamboyant character, the type which is plentiful in Miami, for better or for worse. Quote The man knows how to make an entrance. In April 2012, fireworks split open the night sky over Star Island. Below, topless women wiggled by a pool lit the color of blue Kool-Aid. Veiled belly dancers tossed around fire sticks. Camels munched grass around the two-acre property. All through the white tents draped beside the waterfront mansion, Miami's moneybags elite got down. The occasion was the 50th-birthday party for Thomas Kramer, a wild-man developer whose Portofino Tower stands out like an exclamation point on the South Beach skyline. The theme was "Arabian Nights." Costumed sheiks and bedouins bumped through the party. High-society spinners DJs Blondie and Mad Linx flooded the air with music. The high-priced revelry was already in overdrive when — suddenly — a rider approached. On a horse. A white purebred Paso Fino clattered toward the front gate, where a row of bouncers controlled access. In the saddle sat a strikingly slab-like man in a leather vest and white tunic, perfect teeth winking out from a mischievous grin. A headscarf dragged like a banner from the rider's head as the animal galloped past the security guys' screamed protests, then pounded into the yard and up through the house's massive two-story entryway. Horse and rider wove through the elegant house and out to the pool. Cell-phone cameras flashed, capturing the image of this guy — whoever he was — bolting through a $35 million house on horseback. But partygoers who already knew it screamed his name. "Anwar! Anwar! Anwar!"
