Have you found it exciting or daunting coming to HOLLYOAKS?
This is my first television work, it's the first time I've been kind of slotted into a TV machine – it's a huge machine. I mean you've got four or sometimes five filming units working at the same time. It's hugely complicated, so to me that's like 'wow!' I'm not used to the logistics and the way it's all run, but at the same time it's been good because I felt very relaxed during filming.

What sort of things did you do before you started working here?
I've done some theatre and some shows in London. I did some shows for schools, and I did a show called 'Like Water For Chocolate'. It went on for three months, and the play was mainly in Spanish with only little bits of English, for a non-English speaking audience.

Are you Spanish?
I'm from Mexico. Spanish is my first language and English is my second language, and in HOLLYOAKS I play a Spaniard.
