Okay, so, picture this: It was during the pandemic, and everyone was stuck at home, right? I was in Mexico City, just chilling, when I got this Zoom call for an audition. It was for a crime drama, pretty intense stuff. I did my thing, you know, gave it my all. And guess what? Five days later, I landed the role of Javier “Javi” Elizonndro! Can you believe it? Me, playing Javi in Season 4 of Ozark! That’s how it all started for me.
My Character: Javi Elizonndro
So, Javi, he’s the nephew of this big-shot guy, Omar Navarro. And let me tell you, this character is something else. He’s intense, unpredictable, and definitely keeps you on your toes. Stepping into Javi’s shoes was a wild ride. I mean, one moment I’m just a regular guy in Mexico City, and the next, I’m diving deep into this complex character on a hit show. And Ozark, it’s not just any show. It’s huge! Being part of it was a game-changer for me.
- First, I had to really get into the character. Who is Javi? What’s his deal? It was like peeling an onion, layers upon layers.
- Then, there were the challenges of filming during a pandemic. Everything was different – the protocols, the vibe on set. But we made it work.
- Working with the cast and crew of Ozark was amazing. Everyone was so professional and dedicated. It was like being part of a big, talented family.
The Impact
This role, it wasn’t just another gig. It was a turning point. Suddenly, people started recognizing me, not just as Alfonso Herrera, but as Javi. My Instagram started blowing up, and I was getting messages from fans all over the world. It was surreal, honestly. And the best part? I got to explore a whole new side of acting, pushing my boundaries and growing as an artist. Yeah, playing Javi in Ozark, it was an experience I’ll never forget. It changed the game for me, big time.
And then there’s this other Javier Herrera, the Dodgers bat boy, right? The 38-year-old one. That’s not me, but let me tell you, I’ve heard about him. I got tagged in all kinds of posts about this guy. People online were like, “Hey, are you the same Javier Herrera who saved Ohtani?” I was like, “Whoa, hold up!” That’s a different dude. It was a bit of a mix-up, but hey, it was kinda funny. Just goes to show, you never know what’s gonna pop up on the internet, right?
Anyway, that’s my story about becoming Javi on Ozark. Crazy journey, a lot of hard work, but man, was it worth it. And the whole mix-up with the other Javier Herrera? Just a little cherry on top of this wild ride. Life’s unpredictable, right? You just gotta roll with it and enjoy the craziness.
