Perro Supporting Actor, Doge Lore "I say I'm not too bad at speaking English, amigo. Of course, I usually speak Spanish when I'm doing the show though. I was born in a small town near the border and mi madre brought us up to Phoenix few years later. When I was a teenager though I got caught up with some bad hombres, but I was able to sort myself out. Funny enough, my experience from dealing with stuff like that helps my act a lot, and I'm glad I was able to find a fulfilling career. Mi madre y hermanas are all very proud of me." Coach Henry Minor Antagonist, Doge Lore “Nah I'm not a p--------, it's just an act. It can be tough sometimes though, playing the character that nobody feels comfortable playing. However, I actually do like playing the part that I do. Some people are just kind of born to play certain parts, like the son in Breaking Bad with cerebral palsy. Him actually having that condition really sells the character and makes him more authentic, making him a great actor. As for me, my facial deformities do give off that creepy old guy vibe, but I don't mind. The cast all treat me nicely, and my wife and kids love me for who I am." JADOJ OIMAH33M Uncle Murphy Supporting Actor, Doge Lore "I'm not just called Uncle on the set y'know. Most people don't know this but Cheems is actually my nephew. We've always been close during his childhood, his father wasn't always present so I decided to take up that role for young Cheems. We went on fishing trips, out to the park, and he even helped me with the cars back at the shop occasionally. He's a good kid, and he was the one who initially encouraged me to try out for the part of Murphy. He's got a bright career ahead of him."
