Since premiering on Netflix back in 2018, Elite has introduced a new crop of talented young actors to the world.

Over the years, many of the original cast members have left the smash hit behind to explore different projects, but Elite keeps coming back with new stars to fill its roster. That very much includes Alex Pastrana!

Alex, who you might also recognize from Netflix’s series Welcome to Eden, made his debut in the show’s sixth season playing Raul, an influencer with a dark side and an unhealthy relationship with Sara (Carmen Arrufat). The couple ended the season with a cliffhanger and will be back in action when the forthcoming seventh season premieres later this month.

Ahead of that, we caught up with Alex via email to learn more about his experience on the show.

He opened up about playing a morally gray character with a villainous side and what sort of stress that entailed.

The star also reflected on getting to work with Elite legend Omar Ayuso, who rejoined the cast and is the only remaining actor from the original group to still be appearing in the show.

On top of getting to work with Omar, Alex also shares the screen with global pop star Anitta, who is taking on one of her biggest acting roles in the forthcoming episodes.

What was she like on set? What does Alex have up his sleeves for the future? We got all the tea from our conversation!
