Success came to Luis Zahera when he was already graying and perhaps that is why he knows that humility is the key to not getting lost. We caught him, precisely, studying. Tomorrow the third season of Entrevías arrives on Telecinco (10:50 p.m.), one of the most successful series of recent times both on Netflix and on linear television. “This is how I keep my ego caged, studying at home, reading the chapters, preparing myself.”
Because this actor, winner of a Goya, the Corleone of fiction, the baddest bad guy on our television, confesses that the biggest sin of this profession, “which I love and adore so much,” is the ego: “This is a job like any other and you have to be humble. Know that you come to entertain, that you are not saving lives. The biggest sin is believing that you are the host.”
Made in collaboration with Alea Media and distributed by Mediterráneo Mediaset España Group, the new season of Entrevías, which was presented this weekend at the South International Series Festival, is, in the words of its creator, David Bermejo, “the most ambitious that we have done so far.”
“After the enormous success of the other two installments, we had the responsibility of making the series better in every way. And we have managed to make it vibrant, full of action, emotion, moments that have you glued to your chair, always without losing the social and deeply human character, the irony and realism that characterize it,” says Bermejo.
After the events that occurred in the neighborhood at the end of the second season, Tirso’s (José Coronado) life is going happily: his relationship with Gladys is going from strength to strength, the hardware store is a prosperous business and his granddaughter Irene is about to give birth. to light. But the emergence of Maica (Natalia Dicenta), his ex-wife, the arrival of a new and dark commissioner and the ‘resurrection’ of Ezequiel (Luis Zahera) will trigger serious problems with the street gangs in which Tirso, once again, will find himself involved. forced to intervene.
During the talk he remembers the first role he played, El Matachín in a short film with Luis Tosar, and he is convinced that if he had not done badly that time, his career would have taken a different path. Although he insists that he likes these roles, which he dislikes, especially because they mean he can continue working.
“Sometimes I think that if I had played a grandfather in the first film, maybe… I suppose that when I get more gray and my hair turns white, they will soften me,” he confesses.
