With more than 125 film credits and 300 television appearances, Pepe reflects on growing up in Corpus Christi, discovering his love for performing at an early age, moving to Hollywood, and building a lasting career when opportunities for Latino actors were limited. He shares stories from films including Car Wash, The Jerk, American Me, and Scarface, while discussing the importance of representation and telling stories that reflect the Latino community.
Pepe also opens up about his marriage, mentoring young performers, creating his one-man show, his artwork and documentary, and the health challenges he has recently faced. Throughout the conversation, he shares the values that have guided him: staying positive, helping others succeed, supporting the people around you, and finding richness in a life spent doing what you love.
More than a conversation about movies, this episode is about perseverance, generosity, purpose, and the legacy Pepe Serna hopes to leave behind.
