One of the best things about having a podcast is not knowing who your next guest will be. Whether it’s an old friend or a complete stranger every week is an adventure. This week’s adventure is with adventure-junkie and actor, Felipe de Lara, most famous from Telemundo‘s El Señor de los Cielos (The Lord of the Skies) In which he played “Bonito” for 17 episodes. And most recently, Hulu’s original Blumhouse production: Into the Dark, episode 10. Culture Shock.
Into the Dark is a horror anthology, twelve feature length episodes, one for every month of the year and each based on the respective month’s major holiday. Pretty creative. Culture Shock features a story of a young woman (Martha Higareda) making a second attempt at crossing the Mexican border into America in hopes of finding a better life but as you probably guessed, gets more than she bargained for.
Felipe is an incredibly energetic guy with tons of talent oozing from every pore and a passion for life itself that vibrates on a level that affects everyone around him. It is impossible to ignore his energy on the screen and it was an absolute win for Coop&Myan getting him on the show. He’s “brainy&footsy” and his overnight success is only five years away.
A huge thanks to Felipe, we definitely hope he visits Unofficial again the next time he has a new project in the works, or if he just wants to hang so we can all be “better people” together.
