Happy birthday, Diego Dionisio Luna Alexander ♥ (December 29th, 1979)
I’m doing the best thing an actor could be doing right now, which is promoting a film I care about as a fan, so that’s special.

I believe Star Wars ever since the beginning established a parallel with the reality we live in, using the resource “in a galaxy, far, far away”. “Don’t take it personally, we’re not talking about you – but yes, we are talking about you.”
Did you get carried away blasting stormtroopers?

(…) I think the most dangerous thing today is to feel alone, to feel that your issues don’t matter because there’s so much shit going on on the planet. I can think, for example, of all those people who fear being deported from the States. Their voice has been taken. Everyone is being very loud about all the issues in the States, today, but this community cannot be loud anymore. They’re afraid, they’re scared, and I think that is the most dangerous part of this whole scenario. If they don’t feel we’re here, if they don’t feel we care, if they don’t feel like we’re following their stories and there to support them and that the injustice they’re living today matters to us, if we don’t find a way for them to know this, that is what I fear. That will cause damage that will take so much to repair. All of these broken families and broken dreams. And I think film is exactly that. Film can take a very specific voice and put it in the minds of everyone. So being in this festival [Berlinale] reminds me of that power. And I go, like, “Fuck yes, the cinema is needed more than ever!” [text] [photo]
“There was a beautiful thing that a girl from San Diego wrote about the experience of having her father watching the film and how the father reacted to my character and the accent and feeling represented on the screen.”
I feel very lucky. At first, I was really surprised, I didn’t see it coming. And I am thankful with Gareth Edwards. This was his idea. He called me one day and said “I want you to be in the movie. I like your work and I imagine you playing this character.”
