'Intimate enemy' he returned with Fernanda Castillo and Raul Mendez. The second season of the series that tells the story of siblings Roxana Rodiles and Alejandro Ferrer, who meet again after 25 years, is broadcast on Telemundo Internacional. For the 'Narcos' and 'The Lord of the Skies' actor, both tried to escape stereotypes. “When we talk about the world of melodrama, in general, they are stereotyped characters: the good and the bad. I think that we try—particularly in 'Enemigo intimate'—to break these molds because there cannot be only black and white, there is a color palette,” he responds to La República.
