You and Diego Luna have known each other a while. Also, while half of the people on the show are Narcos, the other half are trying to stop them. At the same time, there are a lot of Spanish shows that are about good people. The fact of the matter is this does happen and it’s not typecasting when it really happens, especially when you’re using real names and places this one is based on true stories. In this political climate, is there a worry about the show typecasting or stereotyping a country? Hopefully, my dad will see it and feel proud. But I liked the fact that we were able to be in a half-Spanish show. I know that it is Narcos, it’s meant for entertainment and the subject matter is what people want to see right now, and that’s cool. I don’t think I spoke English until I was about five years old.

Does that have personal significance? He took it upon himself, and got lucky a couple of times but then got unlucky as well. It kept eating away at him and he just got mad and decided to do something about it himself. His motivation was that he just saw things going wrong that weren’t supposed to happen, was telling people that they weren’t supposed to happen, but they kept ignoring him. I spoke to his wife Mika for quite a while and she helped me understand Kiki. But psychologically, why was he so lonely? I needed to find out what made Kiki tick, and what was his motivation. When you read the character on paper, you feel that he was very focused and lonely. What kind of research did you do to get a sense of him?
I blame my “binge-itis” on Narcos! (Laughs)
I watched the other 18 episodes in a week-and-a-half. He was always really good with me, answering all my questions. We always talked and had an ongoing conversation. I thought it was a great show, so called back to see if they were serious. Eric Newman told me about Kiki Camarena and I thought it was really cool, so I watched two episodes immediately.
I have a 10-year-old kid who was six-and-a-half at the time, so I watched a lot of Toy Story, Pixar and Disney films.
