Q&A
How was filming “Original Sin”?
It was intense but I loved the whole experience. We were really lucky to have such a great team of talented people on set. And observing Jean Lee (the director) doing her thing was incredible. Also, seeing the behind the scenes of a feature film really confirmed me my wish of directing.
What was your first role? When was it?
I believe my first performance as an actor was on the stage around March 2014, I played two small roles, a cop and a Puerto Rican concierge in the play “Six Degrees of Separation” with the Stella Adler Lab Theater Company. It was very special for me since I was performing with some of my teachers. Also, Mark Ruffalo came to see us.

What kind of roles do you prefer?
My favorites are those with a bigger arc and where I can use some of my comedy chops.
How do you prepare for a role?
Preparing for a role is one of my favorite parts of the process. I break down the script to really understand what´s happening and who is my character. I also do a lot of research about the period and place where the story takes place, his profession and other characteristics, etc.
Could you recommend a book and a movie to our readers?
I loved “Between Riverside and crazy” by Stephen Adly Guirgis. A great movie to watch is “The Great Beauty” by Paolo Sorrentino.

Besides acting, what other passions do you have?
I love directing! I directed several plays and I´m training to become a film director. Also, I just discovered surfing and it´s my favorite hobby right now.
Congratulations for your award as best actor at the Stella Adler Festival for your role of Enrique at the movie “Paloma”. How did you get that role?
I was called in to audition and had a blast in the room. I guess I created a good impression in the director and the producer because after a few days they offered me the lead role of Enrique.
