I got a call at my apartment in New York City with a Los Angeles area code. I pick up and it was Diego Luna. I was slated to chat with him regarding Elysium, his new futuristic, politically charged project where he plays Julio, the best friend of Matt Damon’s character Max. He sounds like he is walking the streets of L.A., a deduction I make due to the fact he people keep saying hello to him. A little later the distractions stop and we commence our conversation which ranges from directing Matt Damon in the future, his terrible movies which he loves to the Americas uniting together to create one big ass country. Oh, and we tackle the most consequential question, to me at least… when the hell is he and Gael García Bernal shooting another movie?

It is rare to get anything revealing or honest out of an actor at a junket interview. Actually, it’s almost impossible. I’ve had my shares though where I have broken through. My interview with Peter Sarsgaard for Blue Jasmine was one of those interviews filled where he just opened up without a care in the world. But perhaps the answer that most stands out from this interview is his sincere and emotional confession of almost having to turn down the role Woody Allen offered him for Blue Jasmine.
Watch the interview and listen to Sarsgaard explain why he almost said no to Woody. Read More

‘R.I.P.D’ – 3 questions with Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. In this supernatural action-comedy, the duo plays a pair of undead police officers working for the Rest In Peace Department, tasked with protecting the living world from monstrous souls who refuse to move on to the afterlife.
Jeff Bridges brings his signature ‘Big Lebowski’ charm to the role of a Wild West lawman, while Reynolds plays the straight man as a recently deceased detective. While the film has faced comparisons to Men in Black, it offers its own unique brand of CGI-heavy spectacle and buddy-cop chemistry. It’s a fun, summer popcorn flick for fans of the genre.

When I first met Cáthia, I was at the Telemundo NY offices. About to do my movie review segment live in Spanish, I heard the anchor tease she was coming up next. Immediately, I asked the producers if I could meet her and they acquiesced swiftly. Backstage, there she was, zestful, humble, and talkative. She was with her sweet mother and her dynamic manager while I badgered her with questions about her singing in Spanish on The Voice. I just couldn’t believe she did that on national English language TV. It was groundbreaking.

Shalim Ortiz, of Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage, is a bilingual actor who speaks fluent Spanish and English.

Is this the future of acting? Will all actors one day be bilingual and work in two, even three languages? How great is it that if work dries up on one end, there’s a whole other career waiting for him on the other end. Read More
