EL CENTRO – Up and coming actor and long-time comedy veteran, Momo Rodriguez, well once again be gracing the comedy stage in the Imperial Valley in his second headlining show,
Mayans MC: Momo Rodriguez talks Steve’s arc and why you should watch season 3
Momo Rodriguez is a name that not many in the acting world will be familiar with but fans of Mayans MC will not forget the comedian-turned-actor in a hurry.
When Mayans MC returned to FX and Hulu in March 2021, the show welcomed Momo Rodriguez as a new prospect named Steve.
Over the course of the 10-episode season, Steve became a firm fan-favourite and his jaw-dropping arc will be one to remember.
Ahead of the finale of Mayans MC season 3, which airs on May 11th, we spoke with Momo Rodriguez to learn more about his transition from comedy to drama, his appreciation for the character created specifically for him and why you should watch Mayans season 3 (if you haven’t already).
Mayans MC sets up the final episode with “A Mixed-up and Splendid Rescue” written by Jenny Lynn and directed by Alonso Alvarez-Barreda (whose other credits include
Snowfall and
911) and “The House of Death Floats By” written by Sean Tretta and directed by Elgin James. Things start to really heat up, and the death count is mounting by the second episode. In “A Mixed-up and Splendid Rescue,” the mixed-up part is evident – but not the splendid rescue. EZ (JD Pardo) is trying to prove his family can act like a happy family as he and Gaby (Sulem Calderon) try to make a nice brunch for Felipe (Edward James Olmos) and Angel (Clayton Cardenas). Gaby tells EZ that she’s been accepted into nursing school – but in Lodi. EZ is happy for Gaby, but she says she hasn’t decided whether she’s going or not. Angel is late for brunch and ruins the event by being obnoxious because he’s jealous of EZ’s happiness in the face of his own loss of Adelita (Carla Baratta).
