“As a Latin actress, I would have done a difficult aunt or an exciting girl’s papers, but I saved myself.”
Adra, please (Portorico arrived, 1992) The galaxy is very far away with small curricula. when Tony Biroy Bix Caleen, childhood friend and former friend of Cassian andor (Diego Luna) in the first season of Andor, The Latin translator was already known among the audience.
I participated in a famous series The real detective (2015), Drugs (2015) y Oh, my God (2019), he starred Emerald city (2017) In the role of Dorothy and entered the moving sand for the wonderful productions in The edge of the Pacific Ocean: the rebellion (2018), Trio Frontra (2019) S. Morius (2022).
Three years later, Andor It returns with the second and last season, which will address the four years that separate the first batch of the beginning One Rug: Star War story (2016). At all this time, Hollywood surrendered to Arjuna’s talent, which connects with chains of titles held in a small and large screen like Erma Feb (2022), He hit the man. Coincidence (2023) S. Flash twice (2024).
When we met it for the sake Andor Through zooming, it is close, enjoyable and smiling. He talks with a real and infectious illusion about his career, from the creators who brought her out of his Hungarian journey. And it confirms that it may cost to farewell to Pex. Fortunately, his name was already thwarted in the cinema company without the need for strength.
The second season of Andor It covers four years in the life of heroes. What can we expect a Bix trip? How was his interpretation in different stages?
I can’t tell you anything, which is very difficult because I cannot keep the secrets (laughs). Last season is divided into four blocks showing a small time of one year in the lives of these characters. It was very difficult as an actress to find these different nuances in Bix because someone changed in one year, but the change is not radical and does not want to do it very clearly or very hidden.
Usually, in the films we jumped 5 or 10 years, much easier because there are physical and emotional changes, but it was very difficult to find these small transformations. It focused on the shocks or events that lead to the character. We meet Bix a year after he was tortured by Dr. Gord (Joshua James) and we will see how he affected him, the consequences of shock over time.
Lea, Badiyeh, Ahsaka … What does Bix add to this family of powerful women from Star Wars?
What I like about is that it is a natural person, from the working class. Andor It is related to people who make difficult decisions and admire him for him, he is more brave than me. It also represents Latin women. During the first show of the first season, I saw followers as my character, which was left only shortly in a trailer. I separated when he told me: “Finally, Latin in Star Wars. “
Rosario Dawson has not yet released AHSOKA, So this comment pushed me a lot. As a fan Star Wars, I cannot believe myself to employ Diego and me. Fortunately, Tony (Gelry) does not think how a typical Hollywood person does not need the Latin budget with Gringo.
Is it true that Tony chose you in 6 minutes for this series?
Yes! The tests are a process: you are doing, you are waiting for anxious days, no one tells you anything, you are crying because you think they did not take you and you have no job, the arrival of insecurity … but Tony told me: “It is you.” There are no protocols or “I have to talk to Disney and Lucasfy.” It was very smart because, from that moment, I trusted it 100 %. He was the first to believe in me, and if he told me not to do a project, I do not do that.
You confirm that Bix EA personality cost you goodbye. How was the last day of filming?
I faced a problem because I am a tattoo. I was on the group and made me a makeup artist tattooed in honor of Bix with needle and ink. As for the rest, I had to wrap one of my first watch this season and could not stop crying, it cost me a lot. Tony was there, Diego was there, and everyone there saw me behaving and I was tense, crying. It was a very emotional day.
Bix is a character that cost me a lot to leave, and this is the universe that I appreciate a lot and was very sad. Tony asked, “Why is no another season? We will do another, will we do another.” But it is completely right and coordinates this season is very smart. The audience will admire the size of this second season.
Put the man, flashes twice … You make sure that you are not brave like Bix, but it is combined Star Wars With less commercial titles.
Tony taught me that when you choose projects, you choose a team. The choice of smart creators, who risk, who have a perspective, and who have a sound, is very important because many of our cultural references, stereotypes through movies. This is why I am not thinking Beats the man Y Flash twice risk. Zoë Kravitz has a very specific vision as a director, her first movie did not seem.
In 2025 10 years of the first show for the second season of The real detective, That opened the doors of Hollywood.
10 years?! Five, friend. Five (jokes).
Let’s surpass the number, it looks good for me. Since then, I have faltered on the damned TypeCasting in Mecca. How did you do that?
I am not very strategic, but I am bored quickly and for this reason I am looking for different characters. In my beginnings, as a Latin actress, I would have become a difficult aunt or the sexy girl, but the sexual imagination saved me. I can study what I can Bilco experience (2016), the first Hollywood movie.
After seeing it, Neil Jiman gave me a heavy personality, the student who taught a lot, in Oh, my God (2019) I am a student who taught a lot even if he looks. in Andor, Toni entrusted me with the solid aunt, but with a turn. Richard Lincaloter was detonated by my pleasant side. I had some luck and the directors who believed in me and my thoughts.
