Anthony Michael Ruivivar is an American actor known for his portrayal of FDNY paramedic Carlos Nieto in the TV series Third Watch, Batman/Bruce Wayne in Beware the Batman, and other law enforcement roles in different TV series.
Ruivivar's breakthrough role came in 1999 as Carlos Nieto, a paramedic in the action/drama series Third Watch (1999–2005), which centers around the life of police officers, paramedics, and firemen of a fictional precinct and fire station in New York City. In the show, Carlos was a Hawaiian-born Filipino-American who was abandoned by his family and spent his youth in various foster homes. Carlos started as a cocky rookie, often clashing with his superiors. Sometimes, he would display a presumptuous and uncaring attitude towards his patients, and other times he would act as a comic relief. He was the only paramedic to stay as a major character for the six seasons of the show.
After Third Watch, Ruivivar remained in the drama genre, usually playing a police officer, detective or FBI agent in various TV series, such as Traveler, Quantico, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (all in 2007), and Lie to Me (2009).
In 2010, he had a main role in ABC's The Whole Truth as Alejo Salazar. He is currently appearing in a recurring role as Alex Longshadow in Banshee and Batman/Bruce Wayne in Beware the Batman.
