First of all, I love Carlos, Lima says.

I was ecstatic when they told me they cast him.

Working with Carlos, I was so lucky.

Hes such a committed guy and actor.

Youre going to see that hes really great in this role.

He gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes.

It was very fun to play as an actor.

What we see is its hard for a culture to change and grow.

Were almost even experiencing this in America right now, so we need to focus on compassion and reason.

Oscars arrival will also make Maggie confront some of the unspoken issues between Maggie and Alex.

I would say youre picking up on the right thing, that is something that well explore more.

I said, Absolutely, this is what I would do for the story line.'

Yes, definitely, Lima says.

I love this story, I love the cast and the show.

Chyler and I have a really strong bond.
