My name is Anthony Ramos, and I'm an actor and singer, and I have other things.
00:12
I think the way I connect with people as an artist is by talking about the things that
00:16
I'm kind of going through or playing roles that might feel far from me, but then I feel
00:22
some part of that role connects to some part of my life, even if this person is completely
00:26
different from me, which I feel kind of bridges the gap between me and someone that's probably
00:30
completely opposite from me.
00:32
The time that I fail, that's crazy.
00:34
I fail all the time.
00:35
That's why this question is really hard.
00:37
In the Heights was having auditions.
00:39
I was 19 at the time, and they had auditions for like a national tour.
00:42
I went through like four rounds of callbacks, and I didn't get it.
00:46
And I auditioned for the same guys four years later for Hamilton on Broadway.
00:50
I remember being like, yo, if I have this chance again, just make sure you're as prepared
00:56
as you possibly can be, and trust yourself.
00:59
I ended up actually, you know, I ended up getting the role, and I asked the music director,
01:03
I said, you know, I auditioned for you guys like four years ago, like, yo, why y'all didn't
01:06
give me the job?
01:07
He said, because you weren't ready.
01:09
The biggest lesson I took from that was, you know, stay prepared, but sometimes you don't
01:13
get something just because you're not ready and not because you're not right for it or
01:17
something.
01:18
You just might not be ready.
01:19
A lot of that comes up for me when I'm thinking of Maverick as Misfit, specifically being
01:26
Latino and having these opportunities that I didn't really see other Latino actors when
01:30
I was growing up have.
01:31
I think that more and more of these opportunities are coming for people like me, people who
01:35
grew up like me, and just, you know, Latino actors all around, you know.
01:38
Shout out to John Leguizamo and Guillermo del Toro, Paving the Way, you know, and so
01:43
many others.
01:44
I mean, Salma Hayek, and yeah, I'm just excited to be a part of this like movement of Latin
01:48
actors that are just doing dope roles.
