Summary
This week, Felipe and Rizo are joined by Emmy nominated actor and producer Freddy Rodriguez. A Chicago native who has been a staple in film and television for over 30 years, Freddy first captured audiences as Federico "Rico" Diaz on the iconic HBO series Six Feet Under, a role that earned him two SAG Awards and an Emmy nomination.
From starring in cult classics like Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror to lead roles in Bull and The Night Shift, Freddy has consistently redefined himself across every genre. He stops by to talk about his recent work on Wu-Tang: An American Saga, his new podcast Dos Amigos with Wilmer Valderrama, and his upcoming 2026 horror film You Lose You Die. We also get into his latest project, The Tailoress, where he stars alongside Faye Dunaway.
