Though he"loved" his time on network TV, being on Showtime has allowed the actor to do the"kind of storytelling I've always aspired to be a part of."
Rodriguez plays Raul Vega on the show, a union leader and activist in 1930's Los Angeles protesting the construction of California's first freeway, which will displace the Mexican community. "I loved my years working on network television, I had a great time entertaining people that way and telling stories that were able to take people out of their daily lives and zone out a little bit and have a mystery whodunnit. That was awesome," he explained."This kind of storytelling's on another level. This is the kind of storytelling I've always aspired to be a part of ... it's been an absolute dream come true.
The story on"Penny Dreadful" is an important one and even though the show takes place in 1938, Rodriguez says it's just as timely today.
