The Umbrella Academy’s David Castañeda Does a Season-by-Season Evolution of ‘Diego Hargreeves’

“Characters always stay with you years after you finish them.”  Steve Morrison of The Preston & Steve Show linked up with David Castañeda to talk about the final season of The Umbrella Academy. Reveling in the show’s success, David touched on how he evolved in his role as Diego Hargreeves. It was mostly the parallel growth within himself and the character. New experiences made David evolve, whereas the show’s great writers made his character evolve.  Speaking of writers, Steve talked about Gerard Way, from My Chemical Romance, co-writing the series.  David went on to explain how he listened to them in their heyday. At the time, he was 13 years old and didn’t know anything about the band! But now, he’s a fan.   See David in Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy, streaming now on Netflix. Also, catch him in John Wick’s Ballerina spinoff that will be released in 2025.   Watch David Castañeda’s full interview here:  https://vimeo.com/997734205 - Grace Haoth, The Preston & Steve Show Staff
