ALFONSO HERRERA
Age: Ideal (31)
Height: Standard issue (5’10”)
Nationality: Neighborly (from Mexico City, Mexico)
Also known by the nickname Poncho, Alfonso Herrera actually attended school with fellow DotW winner Gael Garcia Bernal. I wish any school I had attended ever had people that looked like that. But alas… Anyway, he was part of a dance-pop group, RBD. The group starred and gained popularity in the series Rebelde, which sounds like the Mexican equivalent of a CW show. He appeared on several other telenovelas and TV dramas until landing the role of Lito’s bespectacled boyfriend who steals everyone’s hearts, Hernando. He looks adorable both with and without glasses, and I hope we see more of him in stateside in the future.
MAX RIEMELT
Age: Similarly ideal (31)
Height: Standard-plus (5’11”)
Nationality: Well-engineered (German)
Max Riemelt was born in Germany when it was still two halves. He was on the less-awesome East half, but the wall came down, and he gave us one more reason to be grateful. He’s been acting since he was a teenager, and has appeared in most of director Dennis Gansel’s films, which I would recommend. He’s excellent (and frequently naked) in Sense8, and I am sure, like Alfonso, we will be seeing more of him stateside in the coming years.
Have a wonderful week! I’ll be back with dispatches from Comic-Con next week.
