Despite us telling the story of actual events, theres no way to predict whats going to happen.
Did you think wed get Gilberto by episode four, you know?
What was that experience like, taking the show to America?I loved that.
I was like, Wow, what a great way to understand the global reach of this industry.
Thats how you know these guys werent the kings of Cali owning New York City and Miami after Pablo.
I mean, these guys were the richest cocaine drug lords in the world.
I dont mean just in the world, I mean in history.
You shoot the majority of the show on location in Colombia.
What is that experience like?
You know that Colombia is not about cocaine.
Im like, yeah its really not.
Its really about incredible people, incredible family, amazing beaches.
Its funny because the experience of being there is an alternate reality to the story.
A lot of people are like, Is it safe?
Do you feel safe?
You shoot the whole thing down there?
And Im like, yeah, man, definitely.
The way the season ends leaves your characters role going forward a little up in the air.
Its in their hands.
I have no control over it, so I dont ask questions.
Am I coming back?
And theyre like, Yeah, nobody talked to you?
But the truth is, the show is calledNarcos, and its about the history of these drug wars.
So thats what this show is about.
They can go wherever the hell they want, I guess.
Pena left Columbia six months after Escobar died.
He stayed DEA and he consulted a ton on Cali, but he wasnt physically there.
Have you and Pena gotten close over the years, especially the past couple of seasons?Its whenever.
You guys have a healthy relationship then.
He has no notes.
He only tells me that a really cute girl was like, Hey, youre Agent Pena!
And otherwise, we talk about our own lives.
So youre helping him get girls.I hope so, yeah.
