"I knew the weight of the scenes, I knew the weight of the films and what it meant to people...
so going in with the utmost respect and trying to find the truth in a character became all I did...
then being met halfway with Nick on the other end doing the exact same thing"
- Taylor Zakhar Perez on screen testing for the role of Alex Claremont-Diaz

Taylor Zakhar Perez on the types of stories he wants to tell with his production company:
“19% of the United States is Latin, but it’s not represented in TV and film [...] it’s crazy, because Latin-led shows are some of the most-watched globally on streamers. It’s disappointing to see."

My mom and dad come from humble beginnings and they've always made a point to tell us how privileged we were growing up.
No joke, any time we were ungrateful, it turned into an hour lecture which ultimately turned into some kind of house/yard work.

I wanted to be of service in the underserved communities. I worked with an NGO that helped DREAMERS prep and apply to universities because it was sort of their only hope for success in higher education.

"Nicholas was just asked [...] about his sexuality, and I just find it so rude. It’s unprofessional and no one's business. That's someone's personal life."
"The less people focus on sexuality and see what these people are capable of, that's when we've created real change."
Tumblr media
"I was not comfortable in my skin growing up. I always had these long eyelashes, and everyone always like, 'Oh, he's so pretty.' And as a young man, that's not what you want to hear."

I love that representation because I don't think anybody is just one thing, especially in 2024.
