We also see what happens to Seth when he stops becoming the confident mouthpiece and he has found a new vice – cocaine – to cope.” Richie becomes a different person when he transforms and gains more power. But you get left with this desire to also see these characters in different scenarios. We have always known Seth and Richie to be this co-dependent crime duo.
He came up with a lot of ideas that he didn’t get to shoot on the original film and has found different ways to tap into that. On the brothers finding themselves on different journeys, which is poles apart from where they started out in season one, Holtz says, “Being able to show the two brothers apart is a logical step.”Ĭotrona expands, “Rodriguez has had a long time to think about. And there is Esai Morales as Lord Amancio Malvado – the antagonist.” He has been in every one of the Dusk Till Dawn movies. “Obviously, the big one is Danny Trejo, who plays The Regulator.
“We have great new actors,” says Cotrona. The second instalment sees Rodriguez’s mascot join, as well as a few others. In the first season, Don Johnson made an appearance. Holtz retorts, “Nah, it wasn’t fan questions. I kept thinking, please shut up, you got the job,” laughs Cotrona. “He was still trying to seal the job and kept asking questions. While Holtz clearly had the role in the bag, he continued to hover around, much to Cotrona’s annoyance. He was good and intimidating and I saw Robert’s eyes light up.” Then he sat down and we started to do the scene and he just crushed it. Something about him rubbed me up the wrong way. When Zane came in, I didn’t like him instantly. That was followed by a reading with Cotrona.Ĭotrona laughs, “We had never seen each other before that. He was then asked to audition for Richie. It worked in the sense that Robert liked me, but it didn’t work out for the part.” Holtz reveals, “I had come off a couple of small independent films when I met with the casting director and Robert. The thing that gives us confidence – and what we are very lucky to have – is that we are doing it with the original director and creator.” The problem is that no one else has access to them, except those two guys. What’s great in our case is that Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s characters are just as iconic, if not more so. Anytime you have iconic property or characters, you are seeing them revisited more and more. Cotrona notes, “It is becoming very common in the market place these days.

It has become standard practice for successful films to be turned into TV shows – especially of the superhero ilk. About a week after that, I started reading with some of the other actors, doing chemistry tests to find the right combination for the brothers.” I got a phone call from Robert at the very last minute and I had always been a giant fan of his.
Robert Rodriguez, our director and creator, is pretty well-known for working fast in all aspects. On being selected to inhabit the roles of the Gecko brothers, Cotrona says, “As far as getting involved, it was a quick process for both of us. Cotrona is the more talkative of the two and Holtz has a more intense disposition. In fact, both are distractingly attractive. While shorter in person, Cotrona is every bit as dashing as he looks on camera as is the lankier Holtz.

These two have ingratiated themselves into the hearts of fans with Robert Rodriguez’s TV series adaptation of the From Dusk Till Dawn cult movie franchise, which he did with Quentin Tarantino. But it was the first real night of good sleep.” IT was a busy week for Hollywood actors Zane Holtz and DJ Cotrona: they were in Mauritius for another DStv media event before making their way to South Africa.Ĭotrona says, “Yeah, we are a little bit jetlagged.
