Self-Care is Healthcare, Glamvi

“I’d really love to do an entire project in Spanish. Something that takes place in Mexico...”

Sari: What are you going to miss most about the whole “On My Block” experience? Diego Tinoco: The camaraderie we established between the cast, the crew, directors, producers, and the studio. That sense of creative freedom to take risks in the work and feel motivated to do so, always exploring the work to its truest depth and enjoying the days on set with your costars and crew. The days on a set can get quite long, so if this camaraderie is not there, then all else fails. I believe the chemistry and the camaraderie between the set are the keys to a successful TV show or movie. Sari: What do you hope fans will take away from the show when it ends? Diego Tinoco: I hope anyone who has watched this show walks away with a sense of hope. A feeling that it doesn’t matter what you’ve been born into, that you can always create better circumstances for your life. Create your plan, find out where you want to go and go. Sari: “On My Block” has been applauded for its Latinx representation. In what ways do you think Netflix and other platforms can expand on that? Diego Tinoco: I loved working with Netflix for many reasons. One is that they provided many opportunities to people of color, not only starring in the show but behind the scenes as well. Nearly all of our directors this season were people of color. Some of them had gone through a special program that Netflix had - to develop up-and-coming directors. And ultimately let them direct our show. So, I think other studios should provide the chance for these up-and-coming artists to take their swing at the ball. Especially if they have the talent and they’re able to show and prove it. You have to remember Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Baz Luhrmann - they were all once up-andcoming artists as well. Someone just decided to take a chance on them. So, take a chance on us. Sari: What kind of stories do you hope to tell that do more to highlight your heritage? Diego Tinoco: I’d really love to do an entire project in Spanish. Something that takes place in Mexico that truly focuses on our culture, beautiful country, and the spirit of our people. Something that leaves not only people of color, but everyone inspired, from all walks of life. Sari: What can you tell me about your role in “Knights of the Zodiac?” Diego Tinoco: My role in “Knights of the Zodiac” is a very juicy one. It’s a secret for now. But he is most likely going to be considered the most badass - a fan favorite. Could be someone who’s been in the anime, could be a brand-new character. Sari: What else is in the pipeline for you? Diego Tinoco: Apart from the “Knights of the Zodiac” film franchise, I’m currently working on a novel I want to turn into a screenplay. I’m also working on my own clothing line named ‘Sangre Mia.’ Sari: What are your future dreams and goals? Diego Tinoco: I want to own a huge spot in my hometown where I grew up and have my own projects developing and releasing 24/7. Not letting anyone decide for me when I can and can’t work but rather take full control.
