Ramon Rodriguez Reflects on Taking on the Role of a Lifetime: Will Trent
For Ramon Rodriguez, landing the lead role in the popular drama series "Will Trent" was more than just a career boost – it was a chance to dive into his own roots. The Puerto Rican actor discussed how he initially turned down the part, citing concerns that cop procedural shows were becoming too formulaic.
"I wasn't sure yet how we're going to stand out and make ourselves different," Rodriguez explained in an interview with Joelle Garguilo, entertainment reporter for Channel 7. "And I really think the stories we're telling... it's dramatic and funny." After multiple conversations with the show's creators, he finally took the leap, a decision that has proven to be both rewarding and challenging.
In season four, viewers can expect Will Trent to face significant personal and professional turmoil as he unravels his own identity. "He's going to go through a lot, sadly," Rodriguez said, hinting at the complexities of his character's storyline. New romances will emerge, old flames rekindled, and Will's already-shaky sense of self will be put to the test.
The new season picks up right where the last one left off, with a major cliffhanger that will leave fans on the edge of their seats. "It is going to be the ride of your life," Rodriguez warned Garguilo. "You're going to want to tune in."
For Rodriguez, playing Will Trent has been more than just an acting gig – it's a chance to explore his own heritage and bring a unique perspective to the role. As he navigates the ups and downs of this complex character, he's drawing on his own experiences as a first-generation American.
The season premiere of "Will Trent" airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on Channel 7, promising to deliver an unforgettable ride for viewers.
