The cast was completed with artists such as Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert and Tony Shalhoub, who play Judy Montanez, Clarence Baker and Roger Enrico respectively.
Flamin’ Hot is based on Richard’s 2013 book A Boy, a Burrito and a Cookie: From Janitor to Executive.
The former janitor then took on an executive role at PepsiCo and became a motivational speaker.

However, a 2021 Los Angeles Times article cast doubt on his story of the snack’s invention, and a spokesperson for Frito-Lay stated, “None of our records show that Richard was involved in any way with the Flamin” Hot test market. ‘
The spokesman added: “That doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate Richard, but the facts don’t back up the urban legend.”
According to the story, during his time with the company, Richard rose from a janitor position to a role in the company’s marketing department and “pitched new product initiatives.”
The development of Flamin’ Hot was revealed to the public in 2019, when Longoria signed on to lead the feature. The film premiered last March as part of Austin’s South By Southwest festival.
Flamin’ Hot is currently scheduled to be released to the public on June 9 via the Hulu and Disney+ streaming services.
