“I’ve done some theater and played some dark characters and have always had a good time. But in this business, [you don’t always] get the opportunity to do it.”
He also said, “Any time you get a chance to do something different or get away from your appearance or get away from what people are used to seeing, I think it’s always good." It sounds like he enjoys taking on various acting roles, andScreamfans should watch his impressive performance inthe popular Ryan Murphy horror anthologyto prepare for the slasher sequel.
While Consuelos has appeared in several recent TV series,he hasn’t appeared in a movie for a decade. He played Ian Cox in the 2016 fantasy comedy movieNine Lives.He also starred in the 2016 dramaAll We Had, which Katie Holmes starred in and also directed.
