Eddie Mujica: Strapped in the rocket, ready to go
Description
Eddie Mujica is the kind of person who makes you want to take a deep breath and also… open fifteen tabs. He’s a Cuban-American actor, writer, director, and Emmy-winning producer who somehow lives in three lanes at once: stepping into the newest Second City Mainstage show with basically one rehearsal (I’m tired for him), premiering his short film LOCO at the San Diego Latino Film Festival, and still finding time to talk mental health, masculinity, identity, and what it means to keep showing up when the countdown gets delayed.
We get into the “best timeline” theory, co-regulating disguised as pickup basketball, audition culture and “neutral Spanish,” and why Latino language is absolutely a superpower (also: chapopote supremacy). Plus, a very serious debate about Taco Bell.
Follow Eddie on IG @mooheekah and follow the film @locoshortfilm for LOCO updates.
