'Cane' is the story of a Cuban-american family living in the south of Florida, who own a very successful rum and cane business.

Jimmy Smits, who is also the executive producer on the show, plays Alex Vega, who suddenly ends up running the family business.

The cast features several big names in the Latino acting community, such as Hector Elizondo and Rita Moreno, who keep the family together.

Veteran actor Hector Elizondo portrays Pancho Duque, the leader and patriarch of the family.

Rita Moreno is the only Latin actor in history to have won an Oscar, a Grammy, a Tony and an Emmy. Here, she plays Amalia Duque, the mother of the clan.

Colombian actress Paola Turbay plays the character of Isabel Vega, Pancho's daughter, mother of three and wife of Jimmy Smits.

Nestor Carbonell, last seen on 'Lost', plays Frank Duque, the first biological son, impulsive and womanizer.

Michael Trevino is Jaime, the oldest son of Jimmy Smits and Paola Turbay. He's in a relationship with a beautiful blonde played by Alona Tal.

The Duque family will not only fight with rival companies (Polly Walker, from 'Rome', will play an important part), but there will be internal conflicts among them as well.

Here's a peak behind the scenes, during the filming of an intimate scene between Jimmy Smits and Paola Turbay.

This new television drama has been created by Cynthia Cidre, who is also the executive producer.

This is a first on American television that an entire Latino family is shown as an upper class, successful group.

Jimmy Smits getting ready for our interview. 'Cane' is an important project for Latinos in Hollywood. Make sure to watch it!

Be sure to tune in every Tuesday night at 10 pm (9pm Central time), on CBS. 'Cane' is one of the shows to watch this Fall season.
