Interviewing the actor Franco Vega

1-. How was your childhood?

My childhood was fun for the most part. My parents did the best they could given their

circumstances. We moved around a lot, so we were pretty much always on the go. My parents

always encouraged us to dream big and supported any kind of creative acions that we chose to

do. For example, they would come home from work to see our backyard transformed into a

stage where I had all the local kids in the neighborhood come together and make costumes

from everything in our house to recreate and play out Star Wars scenes for all the local parents.

They didn't seem to mind that we destroyed all the curtains and blankets in our house to make

this happen. lol. It wasn't until my teens years that things began to take a tun making it difficult

to deal with my mother.

2-. From what age did you decide to be a actor and filmmaker and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV?

I decided at a very young age, I would say 5 years old, that I wanted to become an actor

becausel was raised in The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute as my mother was a full time

student there and worked there as well, I imagine helping with her tuition. I spent a lot of time at

the Strasberg's home growing up with their two sons. It was the best time of my life. They were

so generous to me. Being that my mother an actress and I was always in that environment

watching all the actors doing performances on stage, I naturally decided that was what I wanted

to do with my life.

3-. What was your first appearance on the screens?

My first appearance on the screen was for a film called "RAVE." It was about the underground

party scene and the trials and tribulations that came with it. That was probably the most fun setI

was ever on, we were a family.

4-. What was the role you liked the most?

I do not have any one particular role that I like the most because I love all my roles. They each

have something special for me to discOver and bring to life. They all have their own journey. But

if I had to narrow it down I would say SWAT, The Social Network, RAVE, Roman J Israel Esq..

and Destroy All Neighbors.

5-. What do you think led you to Fame?

What I think has led mo to get the roles and opportunities to work with such great talent is my

persistence and drive. I don't give up and I always bring my best to any project that I get the

honor to be a part of.

6-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?

I would love to interpret a variety of characters. That opens the door for opportunity to explore

and go deep, to learn and to grow. In life we are continuously growing and it is great when you

have the opportunity to see things from a different perspective looking through a new set of

glasses.

7-. What actresses and actors do you feel confortable working with?

I'm most comfortable working with experienced actors who do their homework and bring their

best to whichever project we are working on.

8-. In what other genres of art would you like to participate? (Works of theater, music, among others)

I still love to do theater because I started out in the theater. There's no other feeling like going

live in an ensemble where there's no room for error. lol

I do not have any anecdotes about me that l am aware of which is whyl am blessed to still be
