'Camping' star Arturo Del Puerto is happy about not playing a just another stereotypical Latino character

While David Tennant and Jennifer Garner have already stated that their roles are fresh and new, seems like it is the same for Del Puerto.

Actor Arturo Del Puerto is hopeful that working in creators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner's 'Camping' will probably help him take up characters who he will be able to relate to more easily. A lot like stars Jennifer Garner and David Tennant, who had earlier claimed that 'Camping' is nothing like anything that they have worked in before, Del Puerto is of the opinion that the show is a stepping stone in his career which in itself has gone through a lot of changes. 

The actor opened up about his chance encounter with acting when he was just 14 while speaking with ET Online. He revealed that although he was always interested in tennis and wished to become like Rafael Nadal, it wasn't until he was 14 that his acting skills were triggered. He was asked to act for an advertisement, speaking of which he explained, "The producer of the commercial actually hired my brother. But the shot was below the knees. We were supposed to be roller skating and fall, and then put on a Band-Aid, but my brother, his legs were too hairy, so they ended up hiring me."
