As Hispanic Heritage Month shines a spotlight on Latino creators breaking barriers across industries, Dallas native Daniel Gomez stands out as a powerful example of reinvention and perseverance.
For decades, Gomez has built a reputation as a sharp-minded private investigator and charismatic television personality, captivating national audiences as the lead detective on hit TV shows that delved into real-life investigations of infidelity and betrayal.
Now, Gomez is taking his passion for uncovering truth and human emotion to the big screen. This year, he makes his debut as writer, director, and star of the upcoming action-comedy film Wong Place Wong Time — a fast-paced, hilarious, and unapologetically bold story packed with suspense, laughter, and a touch of chaos.
“Working from TV to film has been challenging,” Gomez shares. “But I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. There’s nothing like shooting a movie in your hometown of Dallas, Texas.”
Filmed entirely in Dallas, Wong Place Wong Time features a diverse cast, explosive action sequences, and Gomez’s signature wit — showcasing the blend of grit and humor that made him a standout on television. The film is slated for release in Fall 2025, with early buzz already building among indie film fans and local Texas audiences.
As Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates voices shaping the future of entertainment, Daniel Gomez’s journey from TV detective to filmmaker exemplifies the creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit that defines the modern Latino storyteller.
