PRIMO: Interview with ‘Uncle Ryan’ actor Carlos Santos

Actor and comedian Carlos Santos shares his experience playing “Uncle Ryan” on Primo.

Primo on Amazon Freevee tells the story of sixteen-year-old Rafa who lives in San Antonio with his mom. Rafa has five uncles who are also a big part of his life. Sometimes Rafa (the delightful Ignacio Diaz-Silverio) struggles with so much input from so many relatives, but at the heart of it is a family that is loyal and loving. The uncles bring so much humor to the story with their unique personalities, sibling rivalry and all hoping to give Rafa the best advice.

Interestingly, sometimes the uncles (Jay, Mondo, Rollie, Mike and Ryan) learn a thing or two from their nephew. And they certainly listen to Rafa’s mom, their sister Drea, played impeccably by Chistina Vidal. In addition to laugh out loud humor, the show offers a lot of good will and appreciation for family.

I spoke with actor and comedian Carlos Santos about playing Rafa’s Uncle Ryan. Uncle Ryan is the youngest uncle and is always vying for status among his four older brothers. He is particularly proud of his bank job and his BMW that he affectionately calls “Sigourney Beamer”. Uncle Ryan also goes head-to-head with nephew Rafa in an epic round of “Game Champ”. Of course, some fun sibling rivalry ensues as each uncle believes he is giving Rafa the best advice. 

Tune in to hear what Carlos has to say about the new Amazon Freevee original comedy series and portraying Uncle Ryan. Still more interviews with more uncles on the way! Stay tuned.
