Actor Raúl Castillo joins us at the kitchen table. Literally. He goes to Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa’s home to share chips and homemade guacamole. Since his last visit on the show five years ago, a lot has changed for Raúl. He’s  gotten married, filmed one of the darkest scenes of his career on HBO’s Task, and will soon join the cast of The Walking Dead. But there are things that remain the same: Raúl’s respect for matriarchs, his rootedness in community and his moral compass.

Actor Raúl Castillo Talks HBO’s Task, Staying Grounded in Hollywood, and His Respect for Matriarchs

In 1989, Maria Hinojosa gave up her Mexican citizenship when she became a naturalized U.S. Citizen. She didn’t know it at the time, but she’d spend years of her life trying to get that legal status. And Maria is amongst the thousands looking for belonging and political power outside of the United States. And even though Maria’s journey is very personal, it asks inherently political questions, like: what does it mean to be the citizen of a country, and who gets to decide if and where you belong?
