Tv series Jessica Jones

Q. On the set what was the working relationship with the other actors, and the director?

A. Krysten Ritter and I worked together quite a bit. It was refreshing to see how much she cared about all the cast and crew. I saw her do little things for them throughout the course of the season. It takes a village to do what we do so that was cool of her.

Q. The set is female.

A. I also got the pleasure of working with 10 different badass female directors this season. It was so inspiring seeing them come in and take over in a mostly male-dominated set.

Q. The tv series is drama and action. Do you love this genre?

A. Yeh, I didn’t have a lot of action to do this season but action mixed in with a little drama is the perfect combination for me. Yes, Jessica Jones was actually my favorite one of all the Netflix Marvel shows, so it was a true pleasure to join this awesome series.

Q. The series is produced by Netflix. What is the difference, in comparison with other broadcasters?

A. I think one of the biggest differences in working for a company like Netflix is that all of our content is released at one time. I’m used to the one episode a week thing so this was refreshing and nerve wrecking all at the same time for me! LOL

Q. You are working in tv series “Power”, as Julio. The series is in the sixth season. In your opinion, what is the reason for the success?

A. Well, Power is on their 5th season and renewed for a 6th. And, it seems it might not have aired there yet, but <SPOILER ALERT> my character had an extremely gruesome death in season 4 so I’m not returning to that series. I think Power has found a way to make those characters so relatable that once people started watching, they can’t stop.

Q. What is your favorite book and why?

A. The Four Agreements is one book that truly resonates with me. It's one I tend to go back and read over and over as time passes.

Q. Have you ever been in Italy?

A. No, I've never been to Italy :( It’s on my list of places to visit for sure!!

Q. What's your typical day?

A normal day for me consists of working out, walking my dog, lots of cooking, and I love to watch a good movie every now and then.
