Exclusive Interview: 'Heroes' Star Shalim Ortiz

buddytv · 10-19-2007, 07:58 AM

One of the most polarizing storylines on the second season of Heroes is the addition of Honduran twins Maya (Dania Ramirez) and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz). Their "powers" are still mysterious, but quite severe, and in the most recent episode, they found themselves joining Sylar (Zachary Quinto) on a road trip to New York City.

BuddyTV spoke to Shalim Ortiz about his experience on Heroes. Shalim spoke about getting the role, working with Ramirez and Quinto, whether his character will live or die in the near future, and what exactly Maya and Alejandro's "powers" are. Below you will find a transcript as well as the mp3 audio file of the interview.

nice interview, def a good question to ask him about their "powers: because they are strange

I really don't know if Shalim will ever read this comment but I will post it here for him:

Shalim, parece mentira que digas con orgullo que ayudaste a traducir la historia.
Lo peor que tiene la historia en que estas involucrado es que parece que Alejandro y Maya no saben hablar su idioma nativo.
Cuando ustedes dos aparecen el programa parece mas una de esas novelas que hacia tu madre. Yo espero que pronto tu historia en el progrmaa mejore por que en realidad no me gusta para nada y creo que es lo peor de la segunda temporada de Heroes.

For the rest of you non-spanish speaking blog readers, I am basically ashamed at how bad the spanish is on this show. It reeks and I cannot believe Shalim is taking pride on saying he helped translate. Shalim is the son of some famous TV celebrities here in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic: he should know better. And everytime he and Dania are on the show turns into a mexican soap opera, there acting is just not on par with the rest of the

(continued from above) their acting is just not on par with the rest of the cast.
I just hope with Sylar on the trip there acting gets better and the bad spanish dissapear.

I can barely wait until next Monday's episode and I'm glad Shalim and Dania are on the show,even though their plot is moving slowly. They will be in New York,in next week's episode and Sylar will be in it. Dania and Shalim seem like very nice people. I would like to meet them in the future.

I thought this guy looked familiar he's a Spanish Pop Star! Too bad he was killed this week by Skylar.

I think he and his sister bring a lot of emotion to the show.
