From Hunters to Winchesters: Actors Who Call San Antonio Home
San Antonio seems to have a thing for actors who play characters on the edge. We've got Jared Padalecki, the brooding demon hunter Sam Winchester from "Supernatural," and Michelle Rodriguez, who's known for kicking butt in films like "Fast & Furious." Then there's Henry Thomas, who went from a wide-eyed kid in "E.T." to delivering creepy vibes in "The Haunting of Hill House." See, San Antonio: keeping Hollywood interesting, one intense role at a time.

Alamo City's Artful Exports: Singers, Songwriters, and the Occasional Reality TV Star
San Antonio isn't all about drama (though, with that Texas heat, it can feel like it sometimes). We've also got some serious musical talent. Ally Brooke, from the girl group Fifth Harmony, brings the pop star power. Jesse Borrego, a talented actor, lent his voice to the animated charmer Miguel in Disney's "Coco." And hey, we can't forget Carole Baskin (yes, you read that right, the Tiger Queen herself) who got her whole "Carole or miscarriage?" thing started right here in San Antonio. San Antonio: where the entertainment never roars... well, except for maybe at the zoo (but hopefully not with tigers involved).
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
