About this episode
Here at PRIDE, we have been feverishly following Guillermo and Nandor’s will-they-won’t-they relationship for the last four seasons of What We Do in the Shadows. So you can imagine how thrilled we were when Guillermo came out as gay in the latest epsiode. We're even more thrilled to have the iconic actor Harvey Guillén join us on today's episode to disucss his character Guillermo's journey to self-actualization over these past four seasons, and how the actor's queer, Mexican-American identity has imbued his character with a depth and authenticity that make Guillermo a true fan-favorite. We also discuss the new companion podcast to the TV show, Behind the Shadows, which Harvey hosts.Your host is Levi Chambers, founder of Rainbo Media Co.
