In the vibrant world of entertainment, where every star has their very own story to tell, Harvey Guillén seems to stand out. In this exclusive interview with photographer Robert Ascroft, Harvey Guillén talks about the unique path he has taken in Hollywood, his inspiring commitment to representation and his charming escapades – which go far beyond the silver screen.
‘Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun’, the latest feature for IRK Magazine, delves into the colorful life of this remarkable actor, who is known, and quite justifiably, for his magnetic presence in the supernatural comedy series ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ – in which he plays the role of Guillermo, a distant descendant of the vampire hunter Van Helsing.
As Robert sits down with Guillén, his infectious energy and humor shine through, painting a picture of a journey filled with passion, authenticity, and a touch of the extraordinary.
From his early days, back when he was still chasing dreams, to his first steps on the red carpet, Guillén’s story is nothing short of a fairy tale wrapped in a shroud of perseverance and self-confidence. As he discusses his latest venture in the animated film ‘WISH’, celebrating Disney’s 100th anniversary, his voice resonates with the joy of fulfilled childhood aspirations.
“This conversation isn’t just an insight into the life of an actor; it’s the heartwarming tale of a queer artist making his mark in an industry often too rigid for change. Join us as Guillén takes us on a journey through his whimsical world, where each twist and turn is a testament to the fact that indeed, ghouls, and perhaps more importantly, their portrayers, just wanna have fun.” IRK Magazine.
American actor Harvey Guillén, whose real name is Javier Guillén (* in Orange County), was born in California as the son of Mexican immigrants. Since 2008, he has appeared in more than 40 film and television productions as well in multiple short films.
