WRITER INTERVIEWS ACTOR: KATE DEL CASTILLO IN LOS IMPOSIBLES


Once again (see Edgar Ramírez, Carlos Mata and Guy Ecker), we have the opportunity to watch a long interview with an actor whose career includes telenovelas as a key ingredient. This time it's Mexican Kate del Castillo in a conversation with Venezuelan writer Leonardo Padrón.

In addition to her work in telenovelas (Imperio de Cristal, Azul, Mágica Juventud, Alguna vez tendremos alas, Ramona, El Derecho de Nacer y La Mentira, among others), Kate del Castillo has participated in U.S. television series like Weeds and in several films: “Nada que ver”, “Reclusorio”, “Amor que mata”, “Aviso de ocasión”, “Por ti”, “Daría tu vida”, “18 Pesos”, “Las Sobrinas del Diablo”, “Peligro en Altamar” and the acclaimed "Bajo la misma luna".

Following is the video of the interview. Among other topics, Kate del Castillo and Padrón talk about the paradox that telenovelas are for actors: acting training like no other and an acting corset of sorts because of how repetitive protagonist roles have become.
