−You have defined El Faraón, your character, as a very different challenge in your career. Why?
−Because He is a character that comes to my career to make a difference from the other characters, he has another presence, nature and another essence. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a white character, I’ve never done a musical character. I have a musician brother, guitarist, rocker, singer, composer, but I was always on the other side, all my life, but I always wanted to play a character born from musicality, a character who tells things from music , from being a music idol in Colombia and not from bad stories like I was used to with my other characters. I remember that during the filming time I took a break from telling stories that were a little harder, denser, stronger, which I also like to do, but I think that giving myself this story for a while in my career, which, although it is a thriller, I think that from the beautiful and new music and characters and very fresh stories of romance, it makes one a little calmer and what better than by the sea.

−Being an actor and director, how did you work with Pharaoh?
I am an actor who works a lot with directors. I am the son of a director and all my life I have learned to work together with the director and I think that all those characters end up being a team effort between what was written, what they direct you and what you propose and do. I proposed things, Felipe Cano (director), others and the two of us went out to look for this character and reached an agreement that we believed that El Faraón, instead of being an antagonist, was the wrong character, that makes him different. Instead of acting premeditated, he makes mistakes from his head, his culture, his ego and that allows you to make the character bigger instead of biasing and limiting him. I wanted to add a lot of flavor to it, for him to enjoy the music, the temperature. I am satisfied.
-The series talks about internal absences.
−I think that this is one of the cool and good things about “It was always me”, that the series is born from the character in a story where they have to find out what happened, but the first thing in the series is the humanities of each of the characters because I think that from the anger of one, from being far from each other, from not understanding each other, all those problems begin to intertwine. Young people have a different way of expressing themselves, and that makes the series lively, different, I think many young people will identify with the characters, and “It was always me” achieves that very well.

− Have you felt like a backpack to your characters, which you call “non-white”?
−No, because I think antagonistic characters have passed through my life who have been different from each other. If I hadn’t spent a little bit of time trying to make them different, I think I would have a backpack full of very heavy bricks on my back, and not only because of the famous cousin (Gonzalo Escobar, in the series “The Pattern of Evil”) but because of many other characters. I haven’t had that load.
