At the same time, he will be starring alongside Francisco Fuertes in the Francisco Lupini Basagoiti short film Tú. Yo. Baño. Sexo. Ahora. He will then start rehearsals for the play Los empeños de una casa (House of Desires). Written by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and directed by Hugo Medrano, it will run in February and March 2015 at the Gala Hispanic Theater in Washington, District of Columbia.
