Alexis Valdés Acts in an HBO Production Speaking in English

October 2, 2021

Cuban comedian and host Alexis Valdés shared a photograph alongside American actors Woody Harrelson and Judy Greer, with whom he is working on a series produced by HBO.

"A photo for the history books! Or at least for my history. With two greats of American film and TV. He, one of my idols of acting forever, the great Woody Harrelson. That actor who can do it all. And her, Judy Greer, an actress with immense comedic grace and tremendous emotional fragility for drama. Both are brilliant. They are masters. And with both I share in this HBO series. A true privilege," the actor commented on his Facebook wall.

The White House plumbers (Los fontaneros de la Casa Blanca), is the production in which the Cuban is filming. The story deals with Watergate, one of the greatest political scandals in the history of the United States.

"In Washington, filming the HBO series WHP about Watergate and coming out next year. And we are in the same historic Watergate building and we sleep in the very same Watergate hotel. Living the history," explained Alexis.

The actor shared several images alongside the celebrities. In one of them, he appears alone with Judy Greer, whom he described as a "piece of an actress," and on his face you can see the emotion of sharing with this group of famous people.

Regarding this shoot, the comedian had already warned in July, where he shared with his followers the news that he was filming a five-chapter American series in New York, in which he plays Felipe de Diego, a real estate broker and Cuban-American navigator.

The HBO series is based on public records and the book Integrity, by Egil "Bud" Krogh and Matthew Krogh, and recounts how the political saboteurs of American president Richard Nixon and two masterminds of Watergate led the Republican presidency to exit the White House.

It should be noted that although Alexis has extensive experience in acting and comedy, this is the first time the Cuban has participated in a production of this magnitude and in English. So all the best to the comedian born in Cuba!
