Rafael Amaya is back and wears the clothes of Aurelio Casillas for Telemundo again, also known as The Lord of the Skies. We traveled to Mexico to meet the actor, who is happy and excited about this new stage of the project. He is so proud of this work that he assures that the eighth season will be the best of all.
My first meeting with the actor, during a long day of filming, was in a car park. Rafael arrived very early, ready and willing to work. He greeted everyone present, smiling and entered the area designated for conducting the interviews. From the outset I can tell you that he is a really tall man who does not go unnoticed, and that he was not yet dressed as Aurelio Casillas. He has an infectious smile but the most outstanding thing about his attitude is the free and clean laugh that he has, which appears almost at all times.
The interviews began after eight in the morning, but that day woke up very cold in Mexico City, and if we add to this the fact that the sun refused to come out at all, it is worth saying that we were somewhat freezing at that moment.. Everyone, including Rafa, wore coats or sweaters for the occasion. But I must say that the actor was the most sacrificed of those present. Some interviews had to be recorded and for this he was asked to leave without his coat. At no time did I see Rafael upset by the situation, on the contrary, he himself offered to appear without his jacket if the interviewer considered it necessary.
Watching him talk to the press, and the fact is that I asked to be the last to go by to be able to observe his interaction with the people, I noticed that Rafael Amaya is a man who looks straight ahead, who listens carefully to each question and who dedicates to everyone the same attention and respect. Rafael, I insist, looks straight ahead, with a warm smile and this is the case with the wardrobe team that helps him always look good, as well as with the journalists who ask the most daring questions.
After more than half an hour without a jacket, I noticed that both his arms and hands sometimes turned pale due to lack of heat, but he did not lose his composure, nor did he smile. These details are the ones that are sometimes unknown to the public and that some overlook. Many think that the life of the actor is full of glamour, and yes, this aspect is part of the job, but compared to the hours of work filming, glamor takes up a small percentage of his time.
About my conversation with Rafael Amaya I will talk to you later. So stay tuned for our next installments, where you can also see the videos that I made together with the rest of the protagonists of this story, since I also spoke with Carmen Aub and Isabella Castillo. And don’t forget your new villainRuben Cortada, he will play with Aurelio Casillas and it is that to live up to a character who is essentially bad, then it is known that his opponent will be as Machiavellian as he is.
