00:00What did you think when Guillermo came to you with this idea?

00:03I wasn't expecting it.

00:05I was just sitting with him talking, and after a long conversation,

00:09he looked up to me and said,

00:10I think that you need to be my Victor Frankenstein.

00:13And I was just, yeah, I still can't believe it.

00:15I still really can't believe it.

00:16I think I'm going to get on that stage and maybe faint,

00:18because I was expecting to wake up any moment and be like,

00:21I knew this wasn't real, but he said,

00:24I'm going to make you a banquet as an actor,

00:27and that is what he did.

00:28Every day I would come to set, and I just was so excited

00:30and was doing all sorts of beautiful, difficult, expressive things,

00:42How would you kind of describe what it is?

00:44It is a big, Mexican, dark, sumptuous, dramatic character piece.

00:57It's heartbreaking.
