Tyler Alvarez Dishes On Playing Bisexual Carlos On 'Blockbuster'

Tyler Alvarez is opening up about his new role on the Netflix series Blockbuster!

The 25-year-old actor plays Carlos, a first-generation son of immigrants, who learned English by watching movies, and they quickly became his love language.

He dreams of being a filmmaker, but can’t help but feel like he owes it to his parents to live the American life they planned for him.

In a recent interview, Tyler, who is openly gay, dished on playing Carlos in the series, a bisexual Cuban-American.

See what he said inside…

“My favorite thing about Carlos is that his queerness is not his identity, it is just one part of his life,” he told Queerty. “As a queer person, as a queer artist, we are entirely multifaceted and it is really nice to see that multifaceted personality represented on TV.”

If you didn’t know, Tyler came out publicly during Pride Month in 2021, and he also revealed that Lady Gaga was a big part of his coming out journey.

“I remember watching her perform ‘Paparazzi’ at the VMAs and seeing her be so out there and so uniquely herself, it really inspired me in so many ways,” he said.

The entire first season of Blockbuster is now streaming on Netflix. Watch the trailer here!
