'Mayans MC' actor Gino Vento says the second season shockers have only started
Since Season 2 of 'Mayans MC' started airing, the show has been making some very surprising revelations about fan-favorite characters and it has only done airing four episodes yet.
In an exclusive chat with MEAWW, Gino Vento, who plays the role of Nestor Oceteva, head of security for the Galindo Cartel, says that these shockers have only just started and there are more to come. While he couldn't tell us the full extent of the course the show will be taking, the actor says that old family and business secrets will determine how the story plays out going forward.
"The audience can expect answers to some questions that we all have mostly about Happy [David Labrava] being the murderer. Then we can expect to understand more about that - definitely, before the season's over," he says.
Born in the Queens and raised in Miami, Vento's first tryst in the entertainment industry was as a lead singer in the punk-metal band 'Thick As Blood.' It was between world tours that the actor took up acting as a side job to occupy his free time. After some local background work, Vento booked a recurring role in 'Bloodline' opposite Kyle Chandler and Linda Cardellini.
Vento's character Nestor has seen a demotion in between Seasons 1 and 2. "He got a demotion. Last year, my character Nestor was out on the field doing very badass things. But as you see him now, he is babysitting Dita (Ada Maris) and driving Emily (Sarah Bolger) around. This is really sinking in on him - it is a very different position for himself to compare to what he was last year and this year."
Another one of the more pressing questions of 'Mayans MC' this season is the deal that Miguel (Danny Pino) was given by the FBI. "Going forward, for Miguel and the Galindo Cartel wants to get the corporation completely clean and straight. But it might affect that, right, if he's not in he's in cahoots with the FBI," he theorizes for the benefit of the fans.
He points out that there is a lot to look forward to in Season 2, especially what is in store for Angel (Clayton Cardenas) and EZ (JD Pardo) - "I think that the audience will love what Angel and EZ do with the information they now have about Happy."
Gino's has also worked on Jordan Peele's 'The Last O.G.,' 'The Duece,' 'Persons of Interest,' and 'The Blacklist' for NBC. On the film front, Vento made his debut in the Samuel Goldwyn 2015 crime drama 'Lila & Eve,' starring Academy Award winner Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez.
If we are to go by Vento's predictions, it looks like Season 2 of 'Mayans MC' will have more secrets and revelations.
'Mayans MC' airs Tuesdays at 10 pm on Fox.
