I don't think this person needs much of 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.040 an introduction, but let's give her one anyway. Today we're 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.360 talking to the one and only Kate Castillo. She's been 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.880 an actor for decades and he's been in everything from 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:24.880 telenoelas two blockbuster films.

I'm 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.600 just like chilling and talking to everyone. Why am I wearing? 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:03.520 Because you look? Because you look? You look beautiful, Vanessa? 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:11.400 She did? Did? She looks beautiful? Vanessa? Okay, So this 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.200 is how many seasons are we on now? The third three? 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.120 That's awesome. Okay, so talking about that once we we'll 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.760 get for sure. But one thing that I love about you, 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.960 and I've always loved about you, is the way that 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.600 you represent Latinas. Okay, because you've been in this game 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.880 in the entertainment industry for a long time and you've 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.320 done it so well. You've managed to stay relevant. I 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.560 think it's amazing because you do English, you do everything. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:45.360 I'm trying to um. I just feel, you know, it's 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:51.400 the honored to be working here, to have a name 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.320 or saying among Latinos, and I think we all have 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.560 so we have to definitely be responsible of what we 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.520 say and special you know, like you or me that 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.560 we have followers and this and that, and then to 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.480 speak for many other voices that they are not heard, 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:16.760 you know. So it was important. When did you discover acting? 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.680 How old were you when you discovered it? When you're like, 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.640 this is what I want to do. I think I 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.880 was seven or something like that that I know, like 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.200 nine that I came with my You know, my dad 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.800 is as an actor, and he's been an actress ever 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.760 since I've known. And uh, he's done more than three 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:40.479 hundred fifty movies telenovela, like a big deal. So I 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.000 grew up in this kind of thing, you know, in 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.760 the industry and knowing about being famous and this and that. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.160 But he never wanted me to be an actural at 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.680 least he didn't push me to be an actress. At ya. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.600 I went to the theater. He was on a play 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.040 called Salome. So I was looking at all those amazing 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.000 costumes and this and that and ever being MI cheated 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:10.760 with my sister. Yeah and uh, and I remember I 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.960 opened the curtain, you know, this big beautiful and it 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.200 was a it was a beautiful theater in a horseshoe shape. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.440 So and I remember I was making, you know, to 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.400 see and I saw the people, you know, just getting 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.200 there and the murmur of the people and getting to 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:28.840 their chance and this and that, and I was like, 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.760 oh my god, this is amazing. I want to be 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.640 in this side of the curtain, you know. And I 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.400 knew that I wanted to be an actor. I just 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.200 didn't say it until later on. Okay, and did your 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.480 dad support you? Like right away, he supported me, but 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.800 he he wasn't, you know, pushing me to do it. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.040 But he said that he didn't want me to live 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.480 out of rejection. And I didn't understand that in that 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.039 in the moment. And I totally agree with him. I 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:00.400 understand him now because we actors, we live out of jetu. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.440 When you get a yes, this is yours. You know, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.920 this this role is yours, or you got the role 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:10.600 or whatever. It's it's rare, you know, unless you're you're 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:17.119 well known and you know actor, you know, but it's hard. Yeah, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.240 and you know what, it's crazy. The reason I asked 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.200 you is because obviously you know my mother. You and 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:25.640 my mom were friends, and um, for me, it was 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.080 people ask me that all the time, like, did my 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.080 mom support me? My mom knew I wanted to sing 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.440 one day, but she wasn't like, yeah, go do it 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:40.640 is that? That's the disrespect. I'll support you, but it's 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.520 not what I want for you. And I would like why, Like, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.840 why isn't she like a hundred percent supporting me? She's 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:56.440 supporting Now I'm like, oh, now, parents know they now 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.080 I get it, you know what I mean? But yeah, 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.799 I need to learn things on my own, something getting, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:07.560 you know. But they it's a job to warn us 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:12.520 about about it, you know, or either you don't want 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.080 to hear, or you just say you know, I don't care. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.960 The thing is that you are cheek and right now 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.040 and with the one we're done without without our parents. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.480 They asked me sometimes if I would have been an 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.280 actor if my dad was not an acturer, And right now, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.720 I say, of course I would, because that's all I 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.040 love and that's my passion. But to be honest, I 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:41.480 don't know, because I learned all about the acting profession 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.640 or craft or however you want to call it, about 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.840 the industry through my dad. And do you feel that 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.520 it was a little harder because you were the daughter 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.480 of or do you feel it was a little easier. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.680 And I'm asking these questions because I feel like we 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.120 have that in common a little bit, you know what 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.800 I mean. But I'd like to hear your perspective on that. Yeah, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.760 and I think it was the poste. I think it 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.280 helped me in the way just because of the of 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.120 the last name, because my dad didn't help me or 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.119 called anybody, hey, this is my daughter, just you know, never, 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.040 I mean, he never blocked me or anything. But I 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.360 think because my dad is a not only that he's 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.440 a well known actor, but he's very loved. And I 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.760 loved that about him because I always say that all 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.680 the people that you know that follows me and the 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.760 fans and all the people that he did so much 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.760 love is because of my dad, to be honest. So 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.120 that was really cool. So that's that, that's the answer. 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.320 It has helped me because my dad has been such 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.600 a nice person, not only for him being a big actor, 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:48.000 but he's a great person. Yeah, now that he has 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.679 seen everything that you've that you you've accomplished, that you're doing, 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.440 you know that he does he ever tell you he's 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.960 proud of you or he's just no he does. You 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.800 know when Mexican as we are like when we say everything, 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.080 we're very close. So um. So yes, he had told 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:07.080 me that, and that makes me really happy because he 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.120 I know that I've been doing things that he would 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.360 have loved to do, but he didn't have the chance, 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:20.000 you know of actually even learning English was very poor. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.480 He came from a very poor family. He was you know. Anyways, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.120 it's it's a long story. But he always was like, leave, 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.000 if you want to leave, leave, We're gonna miss you 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.400 so much. But you know, later on he pushed me 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.719 to come to the United States, and that was really hard. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.320 My mom. I remember, it's like, how can you tell 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.400 her to leave? And he's like, no, she needs to 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:45.240 go and seek her own dreams. Yeah, our parents that's 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.040 what they want. No that that your parents are like, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.680 I want to see my children do better, do the 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.120 things that I wasn't able to do for whatever reason, 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:54.640 you know what I mean. At least that's how my 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.720 mom was. My mom was like, I'm working really hard 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:58.840 for you guys, for my children to leave you guys 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.800 a platform to to pay is the way, and I 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:09.679 want you guys to do better, you know. So so yeah, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.520 So you've had how many English roles? Now? Oh my god, no, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:24.480 I haven't. No less they just say I started with 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.640 this PBS a series called American Family a long time 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:35.439 ago with Edward James almost Raquel Welch. So it was 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.880 a long time ago and that was my first English role. Wow, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.720 I think that's pretty awesome. Believe it or not, my 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.560 mom wanted me to be an actress. She's like, that's 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:54.160 what I want you to do. Come with me and 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.160 then do a come when I got to I'm in Canta. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.160 Thank you so much. I'd be freaking an honor for 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.200 me to be about honor. You have your tequila, Oh no, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.720 yes I do.

So congratulations on that too, Tequila. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.520 To be honest, you know, I wouldn't be promoting a 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.440 tequila or I wouldn't own a tequila if it wasn't 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.640 a good tequila. Feels something that I wouldn't drink. So 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:35.480 I'm very proud of it. I can't promote something or 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.600 tell you that I love something if I really don't. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.080 So the fact that you're really it is it is 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.800 and I know I've tried so many tequilas, and when 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.280 I tried yours, I was like, okay, sistan Rico, Okay, movie, 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.040 I love it.

You need to because there's a lot 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.120 of people out there that would they are amazing too 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.840 when they have a lot of talent and this and that. 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.440 So you have to be prepared and and and have 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.000 a purpose, and you know, I really know what you want. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.760 It's like I would love to help other castes, but 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:10.440 I have to come across with something real so people 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.400 are able to listen to me and listen to the 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:17.360 to the message I'm wanting to give out and spread out. 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.319 So if you if there's nothing that it's reliable or related, 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.080 sorry related to you personally, I think it's harder to 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.559 get across the message. So that's right, because I wish 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.480 I could help every single costs out there, but we can't. 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:37.480 We're not superpowered, you know, but at least something like 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:46.599 pets that really you know menteoro, And I mean so 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.800 cos I know about and I've lived in. You're passionate 0:13:51.800 --> 0:14:00.199 about no fiddle focusing exact Amne. You know all my 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:08.920 says famis you you are an activist as well. You're 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:13.080 not just a very famous and successful actress. You want 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.200 to help the community. You're very passionate about stopping sex 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:20.160 trafficking and about animal rights and protecting our animals, and 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:32.000 I love that. So I don't know if you want 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.440 to tell us a little bit about that as well, well, 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.560 I try, you know, I think, um, we're responsible of 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.240 what we say and what we do. I think. I 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.720 guess it's just trying to be congruent with who I 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.600 am and what I say, what I do, and what 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.680 I think, which is really hard sometimes because I'm flawed. 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.160 You know, I'm not perfect and nobody is perfect. So 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:57.040 sometimes we do things that we shouldn't maybe or they're 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.440 wrong or this and that. But the essence I think 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.760 is what's say. He's there, and I think coming out 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:07.840 and talking about the problems that one has or making 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.400 fun of sometimes of the past, you know, in acting 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:18.600 it say this'ko iuaa comedia? You know. So I love 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:26.440 that because that's true. You know, time heals everything. I 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.200 I think we have to be able after being a 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.240 victim of whatever abuse or whatever it is, to come 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.040 out and once you're healed, and once you are able 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.960 to talk about it loudly and talk about it, to 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.000 be able to be objective and talk about it without 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.840 hurting you. I mean, that's hard. Sometimes it will hurt forever, 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:51.320 but but I think we can help a lot of people. Yeah, absolutely, 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:55.680 I agree that where did your your passion come from? 0:15:55.720 --> 0:16:01.280 For like helping people in sex trafficking talk about English role? Okay, 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:09.920 the needle Kevin Klein called Trade and it was about 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.960 human trafficking. And I didn't know anything about human trafficking. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.560 Probably I've heard about it, but you hear human trafficking 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.680 and for some reason you go to the border and 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.600 think that they are trafficked by, you know, or traded in. 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.240 But it's actually that, but it's so many other things 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.040 around that, and I wanted to learn about it. And 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.920 actually I was playing a human trafficker, so I was like, 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.400 how am I gonna be able to portray? To play 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:40.320 this character so horrible? You know, it's like like, of course, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.120 one of the first things that they teach you in 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.760 acting is that you cannot judge your character. Why. I 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:52.360 could only understand why this woman would behave the way 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:57.680 she did and anyways, putting just being inatos, you know, 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.960 and um, so I learned about a lot about it, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.920 and I wanted to learn a lot about it because 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:07.879 it's something that you never see. Sal trafical tics you 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:13.800 it's something you can naturally see, but trafficata you cannot. 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.840 Actually actually there's people probably next sitting right next to 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:22.280 you that are being trafficked and you don't know. So um, 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.560 that's why it is so hard to detect, and it's 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.040 so big, unfortunately in the entire world, not only in Mexico, 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:33.520 the United States, among many other countries. Yeah, that's why. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.159 And I've seen it more than ever now, Like in 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.880 the restrooms they have like little science if you are 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:42.840 being something I'm not middle and like, I've seen it 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:47.719 more than ever, you know what I mean, Like bus stations, 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.359 train stations, you know, airports. I love that they're doing something. 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.840 You know, there's there's like clutlines that you can call. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:57.920 I mean, it's getting there. I think we need a 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.480 lot more help there, but at least now people are 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:07.600 a little bit more conscious. Yeah, definitely in look I said, 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.880 lays like I would love to help or in any 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.720 way I could support, because that's something that I seriously, 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:17.920 I'm not gonna lie. I learned about it during the pandemic. 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.080 I think there was like a documentary and then a 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.240 few movies and I was like, oh, shoot, this really happens. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:26.800 Like I didn't know. I had no idea, And that's 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.640 when I was like, oh man, this is is a serious 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.639 issue that happens way too much, and it's been happening 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.520 for years. We just have to talk about it, which 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.280 is I love that you talk about it and that 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.320 you're an activist and that you know you're trying to 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.080 help with that I think or helping must be and 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:43.879 even call it lets it's crazy and it's going on 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.439 right now as we speak. So we need to be 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.920 more alert and especially as you said, we need to 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.280 stop neglecting things that we don't know about. And if 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.880 we don't know about, let's go and find out, you know, 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.359 to teach themselves in things that we don't know, like 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.399 there's one you know, yes, inform ourselves for sure exactly. 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.680 This is more of a little personal question and you 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.200 don't have to answer it if you don't feel comfortable. Um, 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.240 but like do you feel like because you don't have 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.880 any kids? Right? And it has that been because you've 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.359 been so focused on your career. It's just a personal choice. 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:34.200 We don't have to get into details. But I'm barely 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:38.040 going through IVF soon. Actually, as you get Joe, I was, 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.640 I feel a little selfish if you could, I guess 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.600 that's the word where I'm like, I want to just 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:45.879 live my life. I want to travel, I want to work. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:56.080 No say no, And but I'm being honest, you know, 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.600 and I just wanted to ask, like, is it something 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.000 similar to my situation or so I never wanted kids. 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:08.600 Never he implemented. Its implemented, and you can do whatever 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.960 the funk you want. I want. Yes, it's your life 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:16.840 and it's only one, so you have to ta yes, 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:21.360 said look looking love mascas. So for me, I never 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:26.040 wanted kids. You know what I sent? I see, I 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:30.439 was doing something whatever else I me as a woman, 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:35.359 not as an actress me Kate, I never wanted kids. 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.000 I never had the urge or something to have kids never, 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:45.240 So why bring somebody to this world. It's a lot 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.840 of responsibility. And if you say that selfish, I don't 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.919 believe in selfishness. I think you have to be your 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:57.040 favorite person always always, and be first before anybody else. 0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.560 You know, it's like an airplanes fell the person you 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.679 help yourself and then you help mom, and what it is, 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.199 there's no way you can help other people if you 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:12.560 don't if you're not, so no, now if you're not, 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.240 if you don't know, well you can be also honest 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:21.680 with that. And also so you don't have to celebrities. 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:25.320 We have to talk about everything about our lives. Right, Yeah, 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:32.600 you're right, I'm an actor, man, Why need I say 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.760 celeb you make me feel better about it because it 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:45.920 was you know, when it came to the kids or 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.800 like right now, I guess I don't know that's the truth. 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.479 I'm just gonna be honest. I don't know. Yeah, eight 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.640 pent of me is like I don't want to have kids. 0:21:55.119 --> 0:22:00.080 And then there's that where I'm like, okay, maybe to 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:06.960 see a castle, you know, you have selfish undo, but 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:13.119 to reproduce it, no, mommy my god, no no no, no, no, no, 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:22.760 no productive no almost ovarios almost care So okay, so no, 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.400 So that's why I like, I love her.

It's 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:50.879 the opinion. Why not say as important, non important? So 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:53.800 as long as you're being you know, honest with yourself, 0:22:54.000 --> 0:23:03.320 who cares? Who care? Caresfish?

To be honest, chickens, 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:46.880 I'm so proud. I always been proud about Lorena because 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.840 I think it's just an amazing character and an amazing series, 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:55.000 But this certain one just goes beyond my expectations the 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:58.520 spectators I had before doing I knew it was going 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:00.960 to be great and this and that, and we got 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:04.879 the Emmy season two and that was amazing. So but 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:06.680 this one, I was like, yeah, this is gonna be 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.199 much better than the second one. Actually, when you're shooting 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.920 you can see way better for so many reasons, especially 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:17.000 the production values. But then when I saw it, I 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.639 watched the only the first seven episodes, and then I 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:23.720 was like, oh my god, this is better than I thought, 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.040 much better than and that doesn't happen to me a lot. 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:31.159 To be honest, I'm so excited and so happy for 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:34.040 all of us Latinos, so you can see that we 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.920 are at the same level of any other show, mainstream 0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:42.639 show or English speaking show. So I am proud to 0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:45.639 say that. I am so happy, and I want to 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:48.960 invite everybody because if you watch this third season only 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:52.399 this third season, that's okay. And I'm pretty sure that 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.360 it's going to bring a lot of new audience to Yes, 0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:58.159 Oh my gosh, that's exciting. And for those of I 0:24:58.240 --> 0:24:59.920 don't know who would it know, But maybe there's a 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:03.119 one person that doesn't know about Can you tell us 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.000 a little bit about your character? What he drew you 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:08.000 to this character? Oh my god, and so many things, 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:12.040 and it's to my own person. I first when I 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:15.960 first heard about it because I read the novel written 0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:20.200 by this amazing author from Spain. So I was like, 0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.960 oh my god, this is so amazing, what a novel, 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:25.440 what a story. You know, I was in love with 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.119 a character, but I was in love with the character 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.280 as well as one hundred other actresses that wanted to 0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:35.120 play Teresa. And it was original movie and then well 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:38.359 everything happened. Long story short, Uh, they turned it into 0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.600 the series and came to the hands of this person 0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.920 who was the show runner back then in Telemundo. But 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:47.840 Telemundo was, you know, it wasn't that big as it 0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.440 is today. So I was like, oh my god, and 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.320 they called me, out of anybody, to be Mendoza. I 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:55.840 was like, oh my god, it was meant to be. 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.840 I couldn't believe it. And then I said, okay, let's 0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:02.720 do this, and you know, and when we finished doing that, 0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.439 rain Now, because this is a character, there's an anti heroin. Um. 0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:12.359 You know, she's flawed in so many ways. Um, she 0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:15.920 loves tequila, she loves mass but she's always making the 0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:19.720
