![]() I think that he was expecting to have the turnaround of being a vampire to happen sooner than 13 years, wanting to show off that life once it was in his hands, but it hasn't happened yet. GUILLÉN: It was one of my favorite moments, to have his family after 13 years visit him at the house that he lives in with supposedly his roommates. What was it like to get to see his extended family, and what was it like to film those scenes, on set with that whole group? This season, there's the theme of family, and we see that even more so in this episode, because this week, not only are we getting more time with Guillermo's family, but it also fills in the gaps on what his family thinks he's been doing this whole time. Even if Baby Colin is not necessarily his biological child, he wants this child to be raised in a way that is nurturing. "Whoa, LEGOs are cool, buddy." Guillermo grew up in a household where, unfortunately, his mom went to work a lot, so he doesn't want to pass on that tradition. People online have kind of named Guillermo "Tio Memo" because he's taking such good care of Colin Robinson and nurturing and encouraging him to do what he wants. That's dangerous because as much as these vampires at one point were mortal and human, it's been a while, and so those parental tendencies maybe have gone out the door for a couple of centuries. He was out the door this season, and he promised to stay behind because of two things: Nandor asked him, and it's hard to say no to him because he genuinely asked him to stay and help him, and also, there's a child in the house now. There are moments of Guillermo swooping in and being the best man, and that's what he did. when Gail broke up with him, and he was going into depression, and Guillermo pat-pats him on the back because the moon reminds him of Gail. How many times has he had moments? You remember when Nandor. What love that is has yet to be determined, but they do genuinely care for each other, otherwise it would be a sadist-masochist relationship where like he sticks with Nandor and gets mistreated so much. I've always said that these characters have love for each other. Her being passionate with Guillermo, or being loving with him, shows that Nandor really does care for him. GUILLÉN: I mean, I think it's very smart writing, and it's very clear if you read into it, of Nandor's wish for the Djinn to make Marwa like everything that he likes. What's your read on what that moment signifies? I did want to ask you a question about "The Wedding" and the interaction between Marwa and Guillermo after Nandor makes the wish. They would go to set, and they basically would improvise, but with the direction of getting from point A to point B, I think that they try to transfer that over with the series. I think because the film was shot that way, the cast did not know the script, but the creators did. So, you don't know how to plant any Easter eggs or seeds of, "Okay, this will make sense because in this episode, we reveal whatnot." They're really secret. It's hard when you cross shoot out of order, and you don't know what the next episodes are going to be. The trajectory of it has to be sprinkled in a way where we see the evolution, and we can see the beginning, the middle, and the end of that season for him. I've always said that since Guillermo is the only human in the show, the storyline has to make sense. The fourth season also stars Kristen Schaal, Anoop Desai, Parisa Fakhri, Doug Jones, and more.Ĭollider: When do you usually find out what Guillermo's storyline is going to be each season? is it more of a general idea that they come to you with? Do you learn it as you're getting scripts? How does that usually play out? That's all before their other energy vampire roommate, Colin Robinson ( Mark Proksch), spawned a suspiciously human child from his own chest cavity - which all the vampires (but mostly Guillermo) have dealt with raising as he rapidly ages. Now that the hit FX series is officially in its fourth season, with an entirely new group of disastrously beloved vampires making their home in Staten Island, New Jersey, the misadventures of Laszlo Cravensworth ( Matt Berry), his wife Nadja of Antipaxos ( Natasia Demetriou), their roommate Nandor the Relentless ( Kayvan Novak), and Nandor's human familiar and not-so-secret vampire hunter descendant Guillermo de la Cruz ( Harvey Guillén) couldn't be more chaotic. Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 7 of What We Do in the Shadows.From executive producers Paul Simms and Stefani Robinson and creator Jemaine Clement, What We Do in the Shadows has undeniably grown and made a name for itself past the initial mockumentary concept that was first spun off from the film of the same name by Clement and Taika Waititi.
