“When I was a kid, I just didn’t see someone like me on screen,” he says. “Except maybe 2 Fast 2 Furious — remember that? There was a Puerto Rican character [Orange Julius, played by Amaury Nolasco], and that’s the only person in my mind that, as a kid, I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s a Latino movie star.’ Being associated with something like Marvel, it’s just tenfold the outreach, and kids can look up and be like, ‘I could do this too. If he could do that, I could do anything. […] My first agents that I had, I was like, ‘Hey, no matter what it says on the description, let me try to go in for it even if they don’t want a Hispanic guy, let me go in and throw it down,’” he says. “It’s always been this thing of trying to shake labels, but also accepting who I am and bringing that to the table.”
