Erik Hayser is one of the most versatile actors in the world of acting playing different characters that challenge him as an actor. In his most recent project entitled “Asesino del Olvido”, Hayser plays Francisco Pira, a television personality who is in charge of covering the most cruel murders that occur in the country.
For the actor, playing this character in the Paramount+ series represents yet another challenge and in an interview he told us how this opportunity came into his life.
“’Asesino del Olvido’ comes to My life at a very special moment. It arrives just before the world changed completely. I received the invitation to do a call back with Paulina Gaitán, a few weeks before the pandemic began,” the actor told us. “’Asesino del Olvido’ arrives at a complex time and at a time when we had to show that we could move forward responsibly. We needed to find new ways to be safe and to be able to move on with our lives in order to bring this project to the public despite the circumstances.”
Hayser also says that during this time he found out that his wife Fernanda Castillo was pregnant.
“ It came at a time of many changes, of many new things, living in a complex world and a complex reality for me, which in the end taught me that it was possible to move forward personally, “he added.
For the actor, playing a journalist was something he wanted to do for a long time. When they told him about the character he plays in ‘Asesino del Olvido’, he did not hesitate to agree to be in the production.
“I want to do that character, I want to do that voice that follows underlining and continuing to focus that it is important to tell the truth and that it is painful that journalists continue to be murdered in Mexico, in Latin America and in the world,” Hayser explained. “Despite this, they are not going to get us to keep silent, that we will continue fighting to tell the truth. For me it was essential to be able to tell that story and embrace a character like this who had that flag, who could echo all the journalists who, for telling the truth, are no longer in this world“.
“Asesino del Olvido” is now available in the United States on the Paramount+ streaming platform.
