The series ‘El Internado: Laguna Negra’ marked a before and after in fiction in our country. For the first time, mystery and youth plots were mixed in the Antena 3 series starring Martino Rivas, Jon Gonzalez, Elena Furiase, Blanca Suarez and Ana de Armasamong others, back in 2007. A witness that other series such as ‘Elite’ or even the Prime Video spin-off ‘El Internado: Las cumbres’ have collected.
However, not for everyone it was a candy at the work level, as the actor who gave life to Roque has recounted, Daniel Retuerta, on the ‘Fantastic Animals’ podcast, where he has been encouraged to tell his experience. The interpreter has confessed that he suffered discrimination by the press. A testimony very similar to the one told by Andrés de la Cruz, ‘Boliche’ in ‘Los Serrano’.
“They educated boys and girls from the age of 10 or 12 to like something very specific. They created a norm and everything that was left out was different”, he commented, remembering how in the magazines they made individual posters of all the protagonists for being more normative and not him.

In fact, Retuerta himself confesses the trauma it was for him to assimilate the contempt of the press: “I didn’t understand contempt. And you don’t want to tell yourself ‘it’s because I’m ugly'”. In fact, this marginalization towards his person carried over to the set, where she came to hear from the director that they wanted a photo “without the shorty”.

The audience also perceived his role with a certain contempt: “You have to kill someone in the series and what happens to me in life is that people interacted with me as if I were a reality. They wrote to me because they were burned with something that my character did. Realize the process that someone has to go through to poison you so much with a series and look for the actor on Instagram and insult him,” Daniel ended up saying.
