I thought if they found out that I’m not as cool as the character, they’re not going to give me more opportunities to keep working. I remember me going to the interviews and being very, very scared and being very closed off in the interviews and trying to be as cool as the character was. That was the first thing that I’d done that was really supported by the audience. I remember that it was the first time the audience started to know me. He was like the bad guy with the good heart. When I started to be an actor in Spain, I did a show where I was playing a character that was very, very cool. MS: I could understand the character, and I could relate many moments of my life with that. How did Lana’s words and your personal experience impact how you portrayed this story?
#Sense8 miguel angel silvestre series
TR: You just mentioned Lana’s talk, and you spoke a lot about transparency, but your character in the series is not very transparent. So I fell in love with Lana after I saw that statement, that generosity, that courage to be herself. For them, it’s very important to be as transparent, as real as possible, as a person. But when I saw the Lana Wachowski statement for the Human Rights Campaign, I thought I really want to live this experience, and I really want to be able to work with these people that believe in failing and transparency and vulnerability. After seeing the statement of Lana Wachowski at the Human Rights Campaign when I was dealing with the auditions - I had seen Matrix and Cloud Atlas, but I hadn’t seen many of their works - I started to know about their work. First of all, to work with Lana and Andy was one of my dreams as an actor, one of the goals I’d been dreaming about. What was your experience like working on this production? But every time I do an interview, it’s very difficult to explain what the series is about. When I saw it, and when I was reading it, that concept was very clear. I think at the end of the second episode I started to understand that. I started to understand what it would be to be as transparent as they are, and everybody would know what scares you the most. And you can see more or less where they can go, even though you get surprised by many things … But I started to understand the concept of what it would mean to share skills and vulnerabilities and who you really are, even though sometimes we don’t want to accept who we really are, and we lie to each other, to ourselves. There are some conversations that start to set up what it means to be a sensate. MS: I started to understand the concept at the end of episode two. TR: Were you able to wrap your head around it right away, or did it take a while for the concept to click for you while working on it? It’s difficult to explain, but very fun to watch. It’s served in a sci-fi premise with a lot of action, humor, drama. It would be marvelous if we could be one, and we could share everybody’s skills, everybody’s knowledge, everybody’s vulnerability, in order to understand each other and understand our dark points, the parts that we’re afraid of. It’s very difficult to explain in words the concept of Sense8, because I think it has a beautiful message underneath. MS: Complicated to speak about, I think, but easy to watch. So, I felt very thankful to be part of that story.
But when everything gathers - you liked the scripts from the very beginning, the directors, your friends - but then you see the result and you like it - it’s beautiful … I mean, we know how difficult it is to do something that works and that you feel proud of. Sometimes you see them and you’re happy with things, or maybe the process was nice and you enjoyed it, and you were happy with that. You always have to speak good about the projects you do and you have to see the beauty in them. I’m thankful to be part of something I really believe in. I watched the whole series, and it felt so, so good. Miguel Ángel Silvestre: Thank you very much. Towleroad: Hi Miguel! Congrats on Sense8.
