Oh, yeah.
Did you hear?
Yeah, see, so I'm doing it.
Yeah, Julio says hi, bye, yeah, I'll ask, bye.
Oh my God.
That's how moms are,
you know? - Yup.
- See the thing is, like,
I'm trying to be an actress too.
And so she's always like,
"You've got to ask the talent if you can be in their show".
- Yeah. - You know?
(upbeat string music)
Hi, welcome back to "Netflix In Focus".
I'm Rebecca Robles, and today I am here with Julio
and Diego, stars of the Netflix show "On a Block".
(Jessica laughing) I am so happy
to have you guys here.
- Absolutely.
- Thank you so much, so, "On a Block".
- Well, "On My Block" takes place,
- Oh, he had to fix it.
- "On My Block"?
- [Julio] "On My Block". - Yeah, it's "On My Block". (laughs)
Oh, you're good.
- I want to kind of get into season four.
- Cool. - [Rebecca] Yes.
- I heard at the table read
no one thought you were Spooky because you weren't scary,
is that true?
- Yeah. - Now I heard
at the table read, everyone was kind of like,
"You're not scary, we're not scared",
and they were really surprised you were Spooky.
And I got to say, I'm surprised too, because you walked in.
I'm not scared, not even a little,
like, not even a little bit.
- You're not actually going to come on, I mean,
I guess there are some assholes
that come on set and try to hurt,
- Please don't curse.
- Assholes is probably, like, a no-no word.
You know what I mean?
- [Julio] Cool. - [Rebecca] Yeah.
- So when I show up and I have this connection
with the cast that, you know,
they were able to be vulnerable in front of me,
which made me look even tougher.
- So they helped you be scary.
- So they, like, helped you be really scary. Yeah
- Yeah. - They helped you get
to that scary point, Yeah because I'm just not seeing it, Julio.
That's what's crazy, like, I don't believe you.
- When we're on set, this guy is,
- 'Cause he was bigger then, right?
- 'Cause he was, like, bigger then, right?
- [Julio] Yes.
- Yeah, you were bigger.
You had like, muscles, like that, I feel like.
I feel like I saw that in a photo somewhere.
- Yeah, yeah.
- But, like, not today, but that's fine,
I mean, that's fine.
- I mean, he's in shape, but.
- You think you could look to camera and say,
"I promise to get my muscle groups in order".
- Yeah.
- In the next year.
- I promise to get my muscle situation in order
sometime in the next year.
- Oh, great, thank you so much.
Diego, but you're looking great.
- Thank you, I appreciate it. (Jessica laughing)
- They could call you Spooky now.
- We could call you Spooky now.
(Jessica laughing)
- No, no, no.
I am the new leader of The Santos this season, so.
- Oh, okay.
- It's going to be an interesting dynamic, you know,
having Cesar be the leader and now his brother,
he's the...
- He's got a dad bod.
- He's got a dad bod, right?
- Yeah. (laughs) - Okay.
Julio, you are a singer.
- Yes. - I hear.
Oh my goodness.
Can you give us a little something?
- Can you sing a little ditty?
- Give us a little bit?
(Julio singing in Spanish)
- Oh, that's enough. -Wow, okay,
thank you so much. (Jessica laughing)
Now, as far as, like, vocal warmups.
What's the kind of thing that you do to get into the zone,
get into the core and be like, ha, ha, ha?
- Before I get into Spooky, I do like,
- [Rebecca] You do the ha?
(Julio blowing air)
- Wow, wow, wow, wow!
Meow!
- I don't really,
- Ah! - Oh!
(Diego laughing) Yo, what's up, Jess?
(Julio laughing)
- [Jessica] You've been pranked!
(all laughing) - Oh, my goodness.
All right, Sierra, we're coming for you next.
- And now you're in on the prank?
- I'm still shaky,
I just want to do it. (all laughing)
(upbeat funk music)
Knowing what she's about to go through right now.
- Sierra, we love you.
Please don't hate us, it's only a joke.
- You're going to laugh, you're going to laugh for sure.
(Julio laughing) - We love you.
- Hey.
Yeah, okay.
No, Mom, it's just an interview.
(Sierra laughing)
She says hi.
- Hi, hi Mom!
- Okay, Sierra says hi.
- Oh my God, I love that.
- I'm not doing that, Mom, the cast is already here.
Yeah, that's why she said hi to you.
(all laughing)
I'm so sorry.
- I love that, no, are you kidding me?
- My mom is always trying to ask me
to ask if I can be in the show.
- Oh yeah, oh,
she's a fan of the show? - I love your mom.
- She's a big fan of the show and that's why I was like,
"It's an interview", I mean, that's pretty silly, right?
To be, like, ask, bother the cast.
- No, are you kidding?
- I mean, put that in writing.

a little improv scene, Sierra, you and me.
It will be pretty.

Nothing is wrong in space.
This is my house.
