00:00Bueno, hola Wagner, es Gonzalo de Hipertextual en España.
00:03First of all, ¿cómo estás?
00:04I'm good, man. ¿Cómo estás?
00:05Fine, gracias muy bien.
00:06Bueno, congratulations por el show.
00:08As a Star Wars fan, I realmente loved it.
00:09The first thing I want to ask you is,
00:11¿qué es el feeling cuando te dicen que te dicen que vas a entrar en el Star Wars universe?
00:15Porque es una gran franchise, millones de fans.
00:18Es muy genial, Gonzalo, porque, you know, as a Brazilian kid,
00:22I mean, we all grew up watching, you know, Star Wars films
00:25and the whole universe of Star Wars.
00:28And back then, when I was, boy, it was to be part of this universe
00:34was in the galaxy far, far, far, far away from me, you know.
00:38So it's like when I had the opportunity of talking to Matt and Brad
00:43and all the creative team behind the series, I was thrilled and I was excited.
00:48Not only because I like animation, I like voice work.
00:51I had this great experience doing the Puss in Boots film,
00:56which was, you know, I had a great time doing it and I wanted to do more.
01:00But of course, being part of the Star Wars universe is a huge plus.
01:05It was very, very remotely possible when I was younger.
01:10You guys are breaking this wall with all this Latin representation
01:13with Pedro, Diego, etc.
01:15And there is that too, right?
01:16Like, so, yeah, for me, it was so, when I saw Diego, yeah, doing Ander and Pedro too,
01:21but Diego speaks with a very thick Mexican accent.
01:25That meant so much to me, you know, like to see.
01:27And for sure, it meant a lot to younger Latinos, right?
01:30Like when watching that and saying, oh, we can be part of that.
01:33Like we can be, you know, we can be part of the universe, of that universe.
01:37That's not that far away from us.
01:38I think that's very important too, in terms of representation.
01:41Absolutely.
01:42You said something about Puss in Boots and that was something I wanted to ask you
01:45because how much do you enjoy animation?
01:47You did this amazing character, which was the wolf.
01:50Now you're doing this one in Star Wars.
01:52How much do you enjoy doing animation?
01:53I love it, man.
01:54You know what's interesting to me is like, it's something that I only started doing recently.
01:59And especially with Puss in Boots, I think that I don't get very self-conscious about it.
02:03It's like, as there are no cameras filming you, it's just your voice.
02:08It's just so playful and nice.
02:10And I'm like, okay, let me try different things.
02:13You know, you're not afraid of making a mistake.
02:16I personally feel very protected there.
02:18I actually brought the experience of doing Puss in Boots to the other things that I did afterwards.
02:24Like I think that actors, we should all be very relaxed when we are on set.
02:28And, you know, we shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes or embarrass ourselves or do something like,
02:34or speak with a weird voice.
02:35I think you try different stuff.
02:38And that's really great.
02:39That's really great.
02:39I get very free and loose when I do voice work.
02:44That's amazing.
02:45In this show, you play a new character for the Star Wars universe.
02:49So I wanted to ask, how much could you like help the creators in developing the character?
02:54Yeah, I think the character was super well developed.
02:57I like the archetype of this character, like this tough cop, you know, that's a good man.
03:03But it's also like he's a street smart cop.
03:08He's been around.
03:09But the thing that I like more about it, that he has his personal drama, right?
03:15Like, which is like something that resonates a lot with me, which is the fact that your job sometimes consumes
03:20you so much that you don't really have enough time to be with your loved ones.
03:26I have three sons, three boys.
03:29You know, so the fact that he has this boy and his wife is not there, they are sort of
03:33like separated and he's having to take care of this boy by himself.
03:37And at the same time, he's driven to do his job the best he can.
03:40And so it's a very well written character.
03:42Of course, when you go there and you put your voice in it, the character kind of, it's like the
03:46shape of the character sort of like, you know, and I think it's good for them too, to see, oh,
03:52you know, so this is how he speaks.
03:53And then it might help them to keep writing other scenes for the character.
03:58But the structure of the character was already there.
04:00Yeah, I was asking because, I mean, you're used to play characters in, let's say, complicated political social situations.
04:08And this is one case because he's not a hero because he worked from the Empire, but he's also working
04:13against the villains, which is small.
04:15So I wanted to ask you, of course, if you would like to take him to live action, because it
04:20would not be the first case.
04:22I'd love that.
04:24I'd love that.
04:25That would be amazing.
04:26You know, I'd love to play this character in a live action thing.
04:30I'd love it.
04:31How do you imagine that?
04:33I don't know.
04:34Like the animation, but live action.
04:38The animation is great, right?
04:39Like I love the graphics.
04:41I love it.
04:41It's beautiful.
04:42But it would be really cool to be, to have a live action version of it.
04:47I would love to ask you a lot of things because I have like thousands of questions here.
04:50But, Wagner, it's been such a pleasure and congratulations for the show, for all the year.
04:55So it was so nice.
04:56Obrigado.
04:56Gracias, hermano.
04:57Por ahí nos vemos.
