The NarcosMexico star recalls the 'surreal moment' when he and Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán had their headline-making courtroom interaction
Narcosfor the past four years. It wasn’t like I just went and read for El Chapo Guzmán — it’s been a process since the show started in 2014," says Edda, who was born in Puebla, Mexico, and who now lives in Los Angeles. "They started calling Latino actors for this new upcoming Latino-themed show that would be shot in Colombia. The casting director, Carla Hool, who has made the careers for many Mexican actors, was in charge of the audition process.
"I was there for two days in court during his criminal trial," says Edda. "Life imitates art, right? You can't plan that." But aside from their momentary interaction, Edda says he gained insight into Chapo that he was able to bring to the character for season two. "The first day that I was there, he spoke for the first time I think in two months, or since the trial had began. So when he spoke and I could hear his voice, I felt, 'Ok, I’m on the right track,'" he says. "And the other thing that really struck me was how calm he was. I don’t think he was really grasping the whole thing.
