One-on-one with actors of ā€˜Doom Patrol,’ Jovian Wade and Diane Guerrero

You know her from ā€œJane the Virginā€ and ā€œOrange is the New Black.ā€ Diane Guerrero takes on the role of ā€œCrazy Janeā€ in DCā€˜s ā€œDoom Patrolā€ on HBO Max.

ā€œWe explore trauma, mental illness LGQBT acceptance,ā€ Guerrero said. ā€œI think it’s going to be very relevant to the real world.ā€

When asked what she love most about San Antonio, ā€Mexican food!ā€ she exclaimed.

Guerrero released a memoir, ā€œIn the Country we Love,ā€ back in 2016. The book follows Guerrero’s upbringing in Boston, Massachusetts, being raised by two parents who were undocumented immigrants from Colombia.

ā€œIt’s had a lot of positive feedback, I initially wrote it for people who have had similar experiences of deportation in this country,ā€ Guerrero said. ā€œI was excited to bring the audience on that journey with me and what our community goes through on a daily basis.ā€

Actor Jovian Wade is known for his role in ā€œThe First Purge.ā€ His role as ā€œCyborgā€ takes on more than just a super hero.

ā€œThe writing really relates to the real world and every time I get a script, I am blown away,ā€ Wade said.

When asking Wade what super power he would like to have in real life he says: ā€œteleportation.ā€

ā€œThat way I can go visit my family from London,ā€ Wade said.

Season two of the popular super hero series premiered Thursday, June 25.

ā€œThe biggest compliment I’ve received is that this doesn’t feel like a super hero show,ā€ Wade said. ā€œIt allows you to relate to one of these characters.ā€
