How actor Robin De Jesús became a TV show's secret weapon.
In "Welcome to Chippendales," the Latino actor pivots from loyal assistant to greedy, distasteful man — anchoring the series’ volatile moments and the main character's downfall.Alicia RamírezThe three-time Tony nominee has quietly made a name for himself as one of Hollywood’s and Broadway’s hardest-working actors, and he's unfailingly delivered.
De Jesús effortlessly pivots from loyal assistant to greedy, distasteful man. He delivers a deceptively simple performance that anchors the series’ most volatile moments that eventually lead to Banerjee’s downfall. But lurking in the shadows are more insoluble questions and odd behavior — and no one is entirely innocent in this world.De Jesús, 38, was first drawn to his ambiguity since the real Ray Colón did morally questionable things —“The big thing for me with Ray, once I learned more about his real-life story, without giving away too much, I viewed his story as a story of a man seeking forgiveness,” he said.
“I’m a very fortunate actor that I get to do really, really beautiful work, but I’m still in my come-up,” he said. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say to you that when I saw these scenes, I thought, ‘I finally get to show what I can do and what I’ve been hungry to do for a long time.’” For all the strife and heartbreak that show business and these conversations bring, De Jesús still considers them unparalleled gifts. “Everything informs everything else,” he said. “It’s a privilege to do such great work that allows me to push boundaries.”
