Simple Pleasures on The Bay – Cape Cod

INLOVE: What do you love the most about being an actor?

Ana de la Reguera: I love everything about being an actor. What I don’t love about being an actor is the uncertainty we live in. We don’t have any structure in our lives. But the rest is incredible. Just to become certain characters, know about what you know, immerse yourself in different worlds, travel, and get to work with the people you’re working with. It’s very inspiring.

INLOVE: When you’re not working, is there a place you like to retreat?

Ana de la Reguera: My house - either in Mexico or in Los Angeles. That’s where I go immediately, or in my hometown in Veracruz. I always go back to those places.

INLOVE: What’s one fun fact that your fans would be shocked to learn?

Ana de la Reguera: I’m a lefty [laughs]. For the most part, I think I’ve been very open on my show about my personal life. You know, my sister, who plays my sister in my show, she’s a rock star. She plays drums and guitars. My mom was a beauty queen. I think my family is unique.

INLOVE: Apart from acting, what are you most in love with?

Ana de la Reguera: I’m in love with life right now. What’s happening to me right now is very special. I’ve never been happier. I wish and hope this time will last for as long as possible.

INLOVE: In what ways would you say that your life journey has mirrored “Alice in Wonderland?”

Ana de la Reguera: I think every life mirrors “Alice in Wonderland.” That’s why it’s such an incredible novel because I think we all have a hidden life, too. And also we have a lot of imagination. We all have those moments when we are young, and we dream of something or dream of becoming something, and we think it will be similar to “Alice in Wonderland.”

INLOVE: What is your real-life Wonderland?

Ana de la Reguera: My house. It is full of colors. I wanted a place where it would be bright, colorful, and fun, nothing serious. A place where people could go and be relaxed. It’s kind of like my cave.

Ana Through the Looking-Glass INLOVE: What’s the wildest adventure you’ve ever been on?

Ana: The wildest adventure has been doing my own show, talking about my life. It’s something that came from my mind and took me seven years to be able to write, produce, create, and shoot.

INLOVE: What’s the best advice you wish you had taken?

Ana: Study more.

INLOVE: Favorite way to spend your time?

Ana: Eating and procrastinating [laughs].

INLOVE: Who’s your favorite fashion designer?

Ana: John Galliano.

Bra, Pants: Dolce & Gabbana

INLOVE: What summer trend would you love to see in 2022?

Ana: No COVID.

INLOVE: Is there anything you could never leave home without?

Ana: My wallet or my phone.

INLOVE? If you could do one thing that would change the world, what would you do?

Ana: I care about the planet. I think we need to restructure the whole way we live so we can serve the planet in a different way. Just be more in line with nature. We would need to start over from zero. That’s why it’s so hard to be able to learn more about Mother Nature. I would start from zero and rebuild everything - the way the whole world works.

Trevor Stines

s Jason Blossom in The CW’s “Riverdale,” Trevor Stines has won the hearts of the show’s most dedicated fans. In his recent film, “Evan Wood,”

Stines stars opposite Charlotte Louise Spencer and Alex Sorian Brown, playing Josh Richards - a character richly layered and filled with surprises.

tines’ love for acting began in sixth grade when he discovered Shakespeare. It led to his love of plays and musicals. The communal experience of it all resonated with him. Collaborating with different people and bringing to life ideas to present something for people to enjoy became a driving force in his decision to pursue this path in life.

“It sounds trite, but I just think people are so interesting,” Stines says about his drive to create. “We’ve been telling stories to communicate since we were in caves, painting on the walls, and there’s still so much that every individual spends their life trying to figure out; about themselves, about the world. That process, the human experience, is so meaningful to me. I want nothing more than to contribute to that journey through story.”

INLOVE: What are the top 3 projects you’ve done that you’re most proud of?

Trevor Stines: Completely unironically, it’d have to be “Evan Wood,” “Riverdale,” and a project I can’t talk about. Convenient, I know.

INLOVE: Can you share more about creating your book, Leather & Glass. Will we see more of this side of you in the future?

Trevor Stines: At the time, I was reading and writing a ton of poetry as a creative outlet. Leather & Glass happened as an organic part of that process, figuring out what I liked in what I was reading and how to use language to articulate certain truths about the human experience As for what the future holds, I’m not sure. I still write, but over time, my tastes change. I’m not the same writer or poet I was when I wrote L&G. While I probably will return to the world of poetry, it will look a lot different when I do.

There’s very little that isn’t cool about working on “Riverdale”

INLOVE: How would you define your sense of style? Trevor Stines: I wear a lot of black, mostly.

INLOVE: Tell me how you came on board for “Evan Wood” and what it was like meeting Charlotte and Alex for the first time?

Trevor Stines: I came to “Evan Wood” in a pretty traditional way: I auditioned for a role. After casting saw my original tape, which was for a different character initially, they invited me to audition for Josh. I met Alex and Charlotte for the first time on set, so it was pretty professional and friendly. We became quick friends over the course of shooting.

INLOVE: Tell us about your character and what you loved most about playing him?

Trevor Stines: Josh is Rachel’s hometown sweetheart, and they left things unresolved when she moved away. The interesting part for me was mining the complexity of Josh’s past. He is a truly kind and caring person, but with huge blind spots and mistakes to make up for.

INLOVE: Did you learn anything about yourself while filming this movie that you didn’t know before?

Trevor Stines: That I LOVE Eggs Benedict. I had

INTERIOR DESIGN it on set for the first time while filming this movie, AND BUILDERS and my life has been changed ever since.

INLOVE: How would you describe the relationship between you, Charlotte, and Alex in real life, and how does that translate onscreen?

Trevor Stines: The three of us are great friends now - at least, I hope so. You’ll have to ask them [laughs]. They’ve known each other a while, and they don’t make me feel out of place at all. They’re some of the few people I feel totally at ease with, and I appreciate them immensely for that. I hope that comfort comes across through our performances. If not, we’ll have to try again on another project.

INLOVE: Do you think you have more to learn from Jason Blossom, or does Jason Blossom have more to learn from you?

Trevor Stines: All I can really say is that Jason is a fictional character, and on that level, I relate a lot. All about Trevor:

INLOVE: Last thing you Googled?

Trevor Stines: “London Broil,” make of that what you will.

INLOVE: Last photo you took with your phone? Trevor Stines: Picture of my dog, unsurprisingly.

INLOVE: Favorite comic?

Trevor Stines: Hard to pick. Saga and the Bendis/Maleev run on Daredevil rank pretty high for me.

INLOVE: Favorite movie you saw as a kid?

Trevor Stines: Probably Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man”

INLOVE: Favorite book?

Trevor Stines: I read a lot, so my opinions are always shifting. Ender’s Game profoundly affected me when I first read it. I’m also anxiously awaiting the next book in Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series.

INLOVE: What’s your favorite TV show, apart from “Riverdale?”

Trevor Stines: “Psych” is just endlessly re-

INTERIORwatchable for me. DESIGN AND INLOVE: BUILDERS What’s your favorite genre of music?

Trevor Stines: I listen to a lot of classic rock. And I have a deep love for the blues. INLOVE: Who’s your favorite poet?

Trevor Stines: Again, hard to pick. Frost, Bukowski, I’ve been really enjoying Ocean Vuong, of late.

INLOVE: What’s been the coolest thing about being a part of “Riverdale?”

Trevor Stines: There’s very little that isn’t cool about working on “Riverdale,” at least for me. I’ve met a lot of talented people, a lot of amazing fans and have been around the world because of the show. Plus, I can walk into any comic shop and see a character I played on the cover of a comic. That’s a dream come true for me.
