Anthony Gonzalez in his first dramatic role for HBO’s Icebox. And he’s very impressive. This role is a far cry from the voice of Miguel in Disney•Pixar’s Coco.
Anthony is always a fun interview. He’s so animated and lively, that you just enjoy watching him. And he’s only 14! Not listen in on the conversation about his role and future plans.
Gonzalez plays, Óscar, a 12-year-old Honduran boy, that is forced to flee his home and seek asylum in the United States, only to find himself trapped in the U.S. immigration system. As Oscar attempts to reach his uncle, Manuel (Omar Leyva), in Arizona, he is apprehended by Border Patrol and placed in “the icebox,” a processing center for Hispanic migrant children.
The film also stars Johnny Ortiz, Matthew Moreno, Genesis Rodriguez, and Jessica Juarez.
Icebox on HBO December 7, 8P (PT).
