—I did 'Little Women', but 'My love, the wachimán' was the first time I worked with Michelle (Alexander) and I got the character of a chess player boy who was a nerd, but he was not so noble, it is having much more lost his armor. (…) Unlike Nico Ponce, who was like his 'antithesis', since he is a 'gyler', and the other was a boy who fell in love with the first thing he saw, in addition to not having the emotional tools or intellectuals to address these problems, since their logic was chess. However, in Paul there is a nobility, he is much more pure, humble and noble. He is not afraid to show what he feels and that is very nice, and sometimes that happens to me too, we are very afraid to say many things and what we feel to people. For example, right now in another type of environment I would have stage fright, but I met you, you have given me a lot of openness.
—Usually in television, theater, there are also like 'little things' among the actors, they are very special, because as it is a very vulnerable space and they put their emotions, body, and they can come from a horrible day from home with a thousand problems and They have to be the happiest in the world, that is complicated, having a camera in front of them; but this is a very friendly cast, I have not seen any problems, any inconvenience between us. Rather, I think there has been a 'wave' of moving the project forward, of supporting us a lot because there have been quite a few young people who are just starting out and others who are more veteran like Mónica Rossi, Bruno Odar, Ximena Díaz. The same Juan Carlos Rey Castro, who is relatively young, but played the father, Denisse Dibós. And you had the coolest ones—Paulina, Jano, Matilde León—who are just making their first fictions, but the atmosphere has been so inclined to the production because it was a new thing, we had to carry out our work and I think there has been a lot of happiness.
—Do you have any behind-the-scenes moments that you would like to share with your followers?
—What happens is that I came to the series when things were 'started' in chapter 40, around there, and the boys, especially those who played sailors: Jano, Joaquín and José Miguel, they had an induction in the Navy militia, how to put your hand here, your hand on the hat, how you hold it, a lot of details that the characters, Navy students, have to have; and when I arrived it was like 'we're going to record'. However, Joaquín Escobar always came up to me to say: “Hey, Bruno, do you hold on like this or put your hand here,” and I really appreciate it a lot because, if it hadn't been for him, I would have been upset. ' resoundingly with the novel, since I have never played this type of very specific characters and Joaquín was always behind me telling me what to do, obviously with a lot of kindness and a lot of camaraderie, and I thank him a lot. He is an actor with a lot of detail.

—Many know you as Pablo from 'Dad in Trouble', but they don't know that you were part of 'Confessions, stories of life itself'. How did you participate?
—The culprit is called Paola León Prado, who is a very capable casting director and we have even gotten to a workshop with Roberto Ángeles because she is an actress too, but she dedicated herself to casting and at the touch she pulled me out and told me: ” “You have to come here.” (…) He asked me for a very small casting, I did the casting, I was cast for the role and from there: “Hey, I have another character, we want you to do it”, then I went to record and they were one-day shoots.
—Recently, you have posted in your story about a cultural event that will take place this April 5, #DictatorshipNeverMore. Regarding this, what specific challenges have you faced as an artist in Peru?
—(…) That narcissism of the artist is killing us. We are more focused on entertaining 24/7, on telling my followers how my day was and how happy I am, when life is not absolute happiness, life is not only laughter and smiles, that is a falsehood. Life is also problems, there is pain, there is sadness and whoever has influence, who has an audience that follows them, has to embrace those sadnesses too because the public also feels it. If you sell to the public that everything is happiness, you are defending a lie. I
—Likewise, you are part of a new project called 'Work In Progress (WIP): the day', what is it about?
—I am in several projects right now, I am co-directing my first film with the help of EPIC Films, which is the producer of the EPIC film school. I am co-directing it with Brian Jacobs, who is a fascinating director, I think he is one of the best young directors we have. It's a film that I wrote, called 'The Day'. It is the story of a migrant who works in a textile factory and is stalked a bit by his boss, until he is invited on these ramblings that he has in the center of Lima, a place where he says that he does want to change his life. of the. (…) Also, I am going to premiere right now (April 5) two productions, one at Casa Yuyachkani, winner of a stimulus for culture from the Ministry of Culture and a stimulus from the Catholic University, it is called 'Moving from Yes-Chick with potatoes', written by Tirso Causillas and directed by Nani Pease.
—Won't you continue on screens?
—Not on television for now, I have a pending lunch with someone who offered me something, but I don't have anything finalized; Who knows, I would like to, I am always willing to be there.
