Take it away, Lela…
When we are filming, it often feels like were flying blind.
As an actor, you have no idea if your choices are right or if they work.

Some scenes feel like a complete Hail Mary.
There is a deep camaraderie of insecurity between us actors.
The saving grace of being on a series is also one of its challenges.
So, where am I going with this?
Some characters are big and bold like Tommy and Lobos, others are more subtle like Milan.
Callan Mulvey brings something unnervingly soothing to Milans villainy.
His threats roll off his tongue languidly, yet potently.
He eats his stew with a strange blend of grace and barbarism.
Kinda makes you want to see Milan eat a person, like he was once rumored to have done… We have a wide range of women, so that shows someseriousreach.
Now,Poweris hard.
Ive talked about deaths before, and this season we have said goodbye to so many close to us.
And with I Call the Shots, we said goodbye to Luis Ramos who plays Vibora Ruiz.
For you, the audience, we are just characters.
Maybe you love us, maybe you hate us, maybe youre ambivalent.
(Thats the peril of working on a crime show.)
His verve is infectious and at times, almost overwhelming.
Ramos eats up life the way you sink your teeth into a perfectly chilled watermelon.
Watching it makes your mouth water.
Adios amigo, fue un placer.
The finale will have your jaw on the floor.
