Born in Havana, Cuba at a time when Fidel Castro reigned with an iron fist – the family not long after fled to Miami – Garcia’s unusual birth made things even more eventful.
The Untouchables and Ocean’s Eleven actor wasn’t born alone: he had a twin, attached to Garcia by the shoulder.

This conjoined twin, though, arrived malformed. About the size of a softball, it was soon removed.
A scar on Garcia’s shoulder is all that the actor has to remind him of his strange beginnings today.

Conjoined twins are extremely rare. It’s estimated that between only 1 in 49,000 births and 1 in 189,000 births see the phenomenon occur.
