QUOTES:

There’s something about my Mexican-American heritage… I’m proud of it.
I see theater as a simple formula. Audience plus players plus story makes the play.

I’ve played Hamlet and Coriolanus, Orlando in ‘As You like It’ and Ariel in ‘Tempest,’ among others.

My parents had a difficult divorce.

For reasons I don’t fully understand, tragic love has a certain appeal.
Juilliard is wonderful in that they don’t pick just one way of working. They give you a palette. There is method acting. There is a lot of attention to Shakespeare and verse.

Any part I do is a marriage of the words – what the playwright or producer or show runner’s vision is – to how I would play it. It took me a while…
