I'll look at it sob about trying to long story short I used to be and our activity is died lump everything in architecture is. Really about everything. Who creativity M that engineering and structures and design and all that so. That that's what I did before that's what I used to do. And certainly had started taking computer class is that it was love at first sight in that. So I think in that professional actors I had to quit Arctic to begin their loved this too much. It and while I speak five languages them in doubt so I started by getting and agent in Spain. In dead that started to go to LA and that cell that how little window ready. Did some movies and it steadily. France and Spain Portugal that you stand there. Now Columbia what would whom I am American agent and LA that I got this part. You're gonna turn Danielle on because she loves the accents I did. I love an educated man is easy multiple language the language. Yeah you love reacted with wind which was. One he's really if they have any of them. Mean you you can you can while these be use useful points. I used to used to think so you put the elements hung in the only. That equities they've. And him alone it is more and more portable and I. What are what are you about that actually nice and my coworker at night. Yeah. I think she's asking what you. Under you were hidden as you sit in the in the barbershop but in the in the air left in the hair salon. That I don't wanna give way too many spoilers but that hair salon scene was shot and that is that might be one of the best seniors I'm about. Five episodes in so. I but that might be one of the best scenes of the of the season and Erica. It would it live with you yeah I I love that scene with a biggie because of the episode I believe we're too long. He had he had the bad eighty minutes. They overshot. Insult they had to cut outs some of some of the scenes so. The arc of the story about chipping in New York. Was a little bit about a little left out are absolutely fortified had the most amazing scenes and huge cocaine and we'll have some in New York which design in New York Bronx we were shooting in the Bronx. It's so it was awesome it was beautiful it was video we've had some pictures of the old. Laps and it's amazing how this check they went to New York any doubt. I've dug down twenty laps cocaine labs. Bite under New Yorkers noticed when he five years ago it was not fifty or sixty years ago it's. It was just to producing the cocaine in stepping out on all the onto the streets to Sally. It was it was crazy about that bad down the Chatsworth. Amazing amazing it was. And that scene in New York was Brady. That's for yes and hey I thought it was. We're doctor Howard doctor with the actor Pepe rep as a who's and this season and Archos. Is the guy you play ship today is that I still alive the you know did he will do we were able to meet with them are. Seem. Now I was unable to meet let them heat got you know he would now. You know it's one of those things you gotta learn if you got to learn on this business I I usually say that is that Netflix. Always access hate when you let get any views don't try to. Turn this side narco business to Goldblum who don't try to. Turn it into it glamorous thing yeah I don't and the one of the things I need I say is. If you start though that or if you're starting double it thinking about starring in such a business. Be clear you'll end up in jail or dead they'll be short while the glamour about it right. Outlook that is one of the things though that I feel about this show. I sometimes even though I don't want to and it's not the right thing to do I sometimes feel myself rooting for them Archos. Like I could get the call the police are worse yeah. It out there who knows. The there's ghosts who cares what about it saying Dan at cooled back. Fullbacks you'll always offer them. That's right let's let mom see and outside to teach their girls will fall for the bad guys we'll let him you know it's. It's something you always fall with a deck guys or the fact euros. Right. But. In eat he'll end up hurt. I'm pretty sure in your heart or in your body and it. Gonna happen eventually. But. It was really amazing that this church was. But can he went to your beat it down there was any therapy and which is a component out but just got a medal to top of cocaine. So that would meet the band and did during the eighties in the move in down in Columbia. So he says well I'll move to new York and I'll save on transportation. And that's what he did didn't matter that this guy who don't play any means that surround that and that Manhattan in hand Manhattan. It is as amazing as amazing and yet he was a very simple guy he didn't like blocks and he's been called the overall me. Because he was where all the time in in the she wanted to work he just wanted to be with the farmers with a cocaine players' opinions. Going back to collapse steady seven semesters of chemical engineering so. There's this cool part about them he would sit in love with a process more than the money. And it was it was pretty cool it seems like them the story goes that he has these families in New York. Wasn't supposed to yield the first marriage you know very Latino write. Them leaves other due to other women. And children in the story goes that to a bunch he had an argument with his second wife. He guilder. He took the babies and brought him to his first wife and each older raise them up as your round lady. That's an added. That is. Our world news. Is that there is like the most shocking thing you learned about ship today overs there's something else that really shocked you uzis. And completely a. But this was the most shocking thing to me you know telling you why because of an argument. Happened less seats she cheated on you if she did CC was asking for. Georgia Tech. I'll bet you if you know hitting it Netflix is not gonna like. And it's it's it's really hard at but you know that this is a little. Look. What we learn about the mosque yet ordered that the Latin markets. Which is that that they you don't errors as a series. Religious. God that I'm. C nearing the end. An extremely good dead and all of that and yet they kill everyone mandates. Date period the worst businesses in the world. But there's no such thing is. Well I should dean have and I give a lot of money to the church and I fear of god go to church every Sunday. So deeply understand dead. Churches and and well sometimes it is we watch it on movies it's going to be. Leah I mean. If the church is gonna get five million dollars sit for what you're. They wanted to do. I'm sure they can forgive a little here in the Olympics it's. Murder wreckage OK if it can't get to kill one person that we can effectively do enough for you. I was wondering you've got to like that I. Real. Is the friction between the CIA. And the DEA. When it comes to how they wanted to handle it Cali cartel. And. Look out I believe that destruction there has been there all along and the end regarding. Everything with carting everything this is so real this is that this happened and this is so real. When that Revere our other interest suppose that well at Columbia has well it wasn't such a big deal to five years ago but. And had a good amount of oil out. So. I mean if there are economical interests. I think you that in certain country. That will overcome any DEA operation. Okay we want to catch one hand that drops in the world. Whatever and this DA will come in and sage laid low it's to get and you. Right now. The team I'm sure it happens anywhere in the world. Anywhere in the world so. You know the first to do you know that Afghanistan has been. He hasn't won one of the two biggest poppy producers in the world you know Hal Linden to work. We never heard about shareware and about being in the edit that. While rather it might not. Bite out Al that moved away and understand it's the only. I think that the former air can do it's the well there's there's no weeks there's no course and there's nothing so. It's the only way that people survived. Seem to have you gotta think sometimes you gotta think. We got to look at the big picture and there are people dying there are starting there and moved her best way out about misery is going to be filled trucks. That's not what happened to move Colombia Colombia is a very rich country but there are a lot of interest involved DA CIA. Then you have the background does not anymore in the park. Not anymore the paramilitary. Everyone's been on its. When you think you're fighting okay Qaeda ordeal doses of the the paramilitary. Those are the good guys because you're killing that Communist guerrillas. It's a lie they're taking over that cocaine labs in the middle of the jungle and that's how that by some more weapons and everything's so. I don't know good guys here at the. Yeah yeah did you did you while you were in Columbia did are even though he can talk about this did you have any kind of commentary from former. Or current cartel members or did anyone say hey yeah that wasn't right maybe you should change that so. But that they're going to get done right now at me like. 6%. To. It IT IE. Well we heard about. Some people yet you know. For instance it was luck or the content cartel but I did pop tonight. You know but yet but I'd call him down here. With the number one security would published report. And heat. Talked openly about killing at least. 250 people and 15100 more. Can directly. In black eyed man had a couple people. Who lured to court doubt it was. This story well were shooting in Cali. That we wanted to shoot and that and that and that nothing and we eventually did. And building that used to belong to the yellow went up he and it looks like the job. Do you have tenants and the owners of the other apartments in what is there you know that the date be set. It extinct by two years to clean adding that this building. So we don't want any more Americans here and that he is they had to call. The other equipment side but it's the first time I'm talking about that a problem probably should no one has ever done it. In public but it's cool story and but he doesn't carry any woods. So they called me Hillary quit less son David was still around he's a lawyer. If you went to the building and it happens that every one of the building was part of love you and we'll let you talk about. You giving a bad name cheese. And a bad name to the building and and they didn't have. They didn't record over mayor.
