Скачать или смотреть Mel Rodriguez Talks Playing Bruce Geller in Netflix’s 'The Residence' - Interview

Before he was one of television’s most beloved and versatile character actors, Mel Rodriguez took the stage in an AIDS awareness play titled 'The Inner Circle', performing alongside the late Pedro Zamora; an activist and star of MTV’s 'The Real World: San Francisco'. For many GenXers, Zamora was the first person they had ever seen publicly live with AIDS, and Rodriguez’s early involvement in the project helped set the tone for a career rooted in empathy, integrity, and fearlessness.

Now, Rodriguez brings his signature blend of depth and quirk to 'The Residence', Netflix’s deliciously offbeat murder mystery from Shondaland, inspired by Kate Andersen Brower’s bestselling book, 'The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House'.

Set in the iconic 132-room mansion, 'The Residence' is a witty whodunnit with 157 suspects, one eccentric detective, one body, and one disastrous State Dinner. Among the eclectic staff is Bruce Geller, the White House’s in-house Engineer and one of the prime suspects in the unfolding investigation—played with charm, ambiguity, and humanity by Rodriguez.

Best known for his fan-favorite role as Todd in 'The Last Man on Earth', Rodriguez has built a rich and eclectic career across film and television, from critically acclaimed turns in 'Getting On' and 'On Becoming a God' in Central Florida, to voicing the comforting Luis in Netflix’s animated 'Carol & The End of the World' and the lovable Officer Colt Bronco in Pixar’s 'Onward'.

In our interview, we talk with Mel Rodriguez about stepping into the halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for this off-kilter murder mystery, how his first acting role shaped his approach to storytelling, and why Bruce Geller might just be the most intriguing suspect of them all.

'The Residence' is streaming now on Netflix.
