On how he plays the Latin Lover: "You have to, as a voice actor, always make a choice when reading any script. You have to give this guy a point of view. Otherwise, it's just a dude reading. For me, when I initially started auditioning for it, I remember I decided that he was more of a removed paternal father or uncle figure for Jane, where he looks at her from a distance and allows her to make those mistakes. As time goes on, of course, you develop the role, and you start to think about who this guy is. I have an answer for who I think he is, I just like to keep that a secret for two reasons: I could be wrong — although I don't think I am — and part of the fun of this character is the fact that he is your friend. He's your viewing buddy, but you also don't know who he is. It adds a certain level of mystery."
On his character's distinct accent: "I took a combination of several different Spanish actors and gave him more of a neutral-yet-Americanized accent. It's based on a pan-American accent, but it also has its standard American-English influences. In my mind, the guy has been in this country for years and has picked up on a lot of the phrasing."
