DESCRIPTION

Michael Pena is one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth guys in Hollywood! That’s why his new role, “Cesar Chavez,” is a perfect fit for the actor. Like the activist leader, Pena is humble and speaks the truth. And yes, he gained weight to play the part!

The last time I spoke with the actor, it was for the fantastic “End of Watch” in 2012. Now, the actor is in a quiet, soulful movie about how a revolution happened. In this interview, we talked about his interest for the role, gaining weight, and the big part that the Filipino people had in the revolution led by Chavez.
