Gleb, it's a pleasure to talk to you. We are approaching the end of the year, the arrival of winter, how do you welcome this melancholic time of the year?

I really like this time of the year. I like the cold more than the heat, so I prefer to be a bit cold but not too much, just enough to wear a sweatshirt and sleep without heat.

Winter in Madrid is strange, it can be a very romantic time or, on the contrary, gray and rainy. Do you remember the days when you arrived in the capital?

I arrived in Madrid in summer if I'm not mistaken, what I do remember is that I wasn't very warm. Besides, the days were very good, you can say that Madrid received me very well.

Coming to Madrid requires a certain strength of character, do you consider yourself a brave person?

I don't consider it as a brave act, I consider it as a good decision I made at the time, a bit risky, but sometimes you have to make decisions like that to move forward or to achieve different things and get out of your comfort zone.

Are you a person who tends to look back to the past or do you prefer to focus on the future and what's to come?

I prefer to focus on the present always, although there are times when it is difficult just to be in the present. Many times I go back to the present and many times I go to the future, I try to stay firm, not to get carried away and build the present to have a better future.

I remember wanting to be a writer since I was very young, but I also wanted to be a doctor, a judge, a private detective... Did the same thing happen to you?

Yes, the same thing happened to me, I did not understand what I really wanted to be, what I realized is that whenever I saw a movie or series I tried to imitate the character and wanted to do the profession of the movie I liked, until I realized that what I really want is to be an actor.

You are an actor who gives a lot of importance to training. Since you started acting, are there any valuable lessons you have learned?

The most valuable lesson is that the actor never has to stop training, training and learning, keep doing courses, classes, training, that's the most valuable lesson, the rest are resources that you learn to be a better actor.

Tell me about a scene of “Elite” that you keep with special affection among your memories of the years you've spent in the series.

Possibly the scene I remember most fondly is the one on the roof when Eric wants to jump, because it was a complicated and very nice scene with Ander Puig, there was a lot of work and it was also my last day, so I remember it with special affection.

How did you feel when you said goodbye to this character so significant for you?

Honestly it didn't hurt me much to say goodbye to him because Eric was in a good place, recovering, with his family. It hurts more not to be able to connect with him, but who knows, maybe in the future I'll come back to him.

In an actor's career you play characters that have absolutely nothing to do with yourself, is it easy for you to get into a skin very different from your own?

It's all a job, it's the most beautiful thing to empathize with your character, understand him and then get into his skin, there are times when it is more difficult to connect with certain characters but that's what I like about this profession, to work, look for the connection and connect with the character.

Are there any other actors who are references for you and whose careers you admire?

There are many actors that I like, but I don't have references as such. I've even used references from films or actors for certain characters, I continue with my goals and my career.

Many actors become interested not only in what happens in front of the camera, but also in what happens behind it. Are you interested in exploring the possibilities of writing or directing audiovisual projects?

Yes, of course, I love cinema in general, in fact I am writing a film with my friend Guillermo Fernandez who is a director. In this film obviously I will not be directing at least for now..., but it is a world that I obviously want to explore.

Tell me about the last time you were excited in a movie theater.

It's been a while since I went to the cinema, a mistake on my part but due to time it has not been possible, the last film I saw in a movie theater was Challengers, which I liked very much, many other premieres I have seen from home due to lack of time and finally I encourage everyone to go more often to the cinema and theater
