The two veteran Spanish actors and the young Argentinian actress gave some fitting Spanish-speaking flavour to our SDCCM TWD:DD coverage. In this video we discuss their characters, careers, and AMC's choice for Season 3's locations.
"Hello, Gamereactor friends, this is The San Diego Comic-Con in Málaga and I'm here with a lot of characters, part of the cast of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - Season 3, and I'm going to switch to Spanish now so that we have a more local flavor."
"First, for Óscar, your character, Fede, is powerful, intriguing, but classic at the same time.
How did you feel playing him with this mix?
Do you think he's a character that we know what to expect from?
or that he will surprise us?
I think he has a very military mentality."
"When he has to be in command, he executes like this, but then at home it's a transformation, because of course, it's another life.
I think it has that duality and I think it's good to show it."
"in that warlike activity that he has.
Candela, Justina and Queen Máxima (of the Netherlands) do they have anything in common?
Well, they are interpreted by the same person, nothing more."
"How have you experienced the evolution from one character to another?
Well, they are very different things.
Queen Maxima, actually, I didn't play anything more than a teenager, because Máxima when she was a teenager she was not a queen, she was a 15-year-old girl."
"And with Justina, well, I went a little bit to the other extreme, from royalty to apocalypse from the prestigious bilingual school to kill zombies in Solaz del Mar."
"So it was two very different things, but both of them gave me very nice memories.
Fantastic. Eduardo, this is horror, this is blood.
Does it somehow take you back to your beginnings with Amenábar?
Well, I have to say that Antonio's characterization in The Walking Dead reminded me a bit of Abre los Ojos (Open Your Eyes)."
"Sorry, no, no, no, no.
It's true, it's that in Abre los Ojos it was also like had this side deformed.
This is not the same deformation, this is a burn, their story arcs have nothing in common, but in a way I did think about my beginnings when I was doing this, my beginnings with Amenábar."
"It's going to be a coincidence of characterisation, because the design was made in the United States, although Jesus is my make-up artist, Jesus Garcia, is the one who does my makeup every day."
"And a wonderful makeup that marks the character not only physically, but also inwardly.
His ailment and injury is on his face, but she also carries it internally."
"Fantastic. And maybe the last one for the time.
No, we have enough for a couple.
You have participated in global blockbusters.
What do you think about the fact that more and more Spanish settings are being chosen?
to shoot this kind of blockbusters?
I think it's smart."
"Let's not forget that Spain is the second most visited country in the world.
by tourism in the world, so there must be a reason.
I believe that we have here some spaces, some scenery that are incredibly good and I think it helps them to come here, because there's a lot to give, a lot to offer."
"Okay, Eduardo?
Yes, yes. I think they're filming more and more.
I would make a petition at the state level, because I think it's unfair.
that there are territories with some tax benefits over others."
"And I think it is complicated to change the law, apparently.
I don't know if you have to change the constitution or I don't know what.
But it's true that right now the Canary Islands and the Basque Country are benefiting over other territories, which I don't understand."
"Why not all territories in Spain can have these benefits.
and attract foreign productions?
But this is good for everyone.
There are 400 people working on this production for months."
"The money that is invested in the municipalities where we work, etc.
This is an investment for the country.
Galicia, Barcelona, there are a lot of places that you are using.
And finally, quickly, your favorite moment of Season 3."
"Well, the motorcycle ride, let's say.
Thank you guys very much for your time.
Enjoy the San Diego Comic-Con in Malaga."
