Actor @actuallyrafa, a Latinx immigrant and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, starred on Ryan Murphy’s 9-1-1 Lone Star, where his character Carlos’ story line made notable impact on mainstream television. This summer, he’s making waves on The Waterfront, the @netflix summer chart-topper from another salient series showrunner: Kevin Williamson, of Dawson’s Creek and Vampire Diaries fame. The intense generational fishing-empire drama is set against the backdrop of coastal North Carolina, where Silva’s character Shawn sails into town under false identity as a staff member at the polished Buckley family seafood establishment➖a counterpoint to the reckless + ruthless family fishing business where chaos + crime ensue just a few feet away. We reached out to Raf to hear more about the series that everyone is hooked on, how his Shawn shakes up his world, get his own take on love and family, how he found mentorship on set, and what he’d cook up for his character in season two.
