Smiling, Damian spoke to Hello! magazine about the “wild” moment when he got the call about starring in charming. He explained that he wasn’t cast until they started filming the first episode. So he already knew who else was offered, specifically Kim. So his concern at that point was, “Are there going to be enough roles to sustain a career to try to do this?” He got his manager and agent. And when he auditioned and got cast as the inspirational drag queen “with the ironic name.”

He had previously worked in Hollywood as a dancer and then behind the scenes in production roles, and at the time he often doubted whether there was a place for him as a gender-nonconforming Latinx star on screen.
Damian studied Fashion at Woodbury University in the Class of 2020. Part of his thesis at the time was about gender neutral spaces because he never understood why men had to shop in “this” area and women had to shop “there.”

So now, in the future, he hopes the industry will look even more different than it does now, and he hopes to be a part of that industry. He’s also optimistic that it will make it easier for others who come after him.
