In the middle of the drama that ensued The second season of “Operation Black Wave”haunted by dark and vengeful characters, Esther Holly (Madrid, 1983) is a lawyer who, with his golden tresses and angelic face, climbing up and having an unrepentant stomach, can’t help but show his empathy in the figure of a lawyer. Nando (Jorge Lopez), young drug dealer who pays for everyone’s sins in jail. The actress, who stepped into television as a presenter in 2007, also worked as a reporter. ‘Non Stop People’ by Movistar+He switched to acting with ‘Madrid DF’ and ‘Ángel o demonio’. But he gained fame (and fat ones) for his role. Stockholm in ‘paper house’. In 2019, he took a role in Playz’s ‘Before Losing’ series.
Tell me about the lawyer you lent me your golden curls..
We spoke with Daniel Calparsoro (director) about not falling in love with an emotionless woman. He is a lawyer with a desire to advance in his career, in his business, to defend this family despite knowing what he stands for, and it is not free; for this invoice. But we didn’t want it to make her a cold and unfeeling woman. A robotic lawyer. Calparsolo told me, “I want a certain honesty side to mark the character.”
He shows more empathy with his client, Nando.
There are times when he slacks off, because as with all these processes—we’re talking about drug trafficking—he is the first to think that Nando is the scapegoat that should be out there, not in jail, but for others.
“I don’t feel like being a corseted lawyer in a navy blue suit.”
His co-star Óscar Jaenada says the character’s appearance was very involved in his creative process. Is this your case too?
Yes, it is clear that this work has been published. I remember telling them in our first meetings with the wardrobe: “No matter how much I read, I don’t feel like being a lawyer in a navy blue suit and a corset. We’re going to get out of this.” And so we were looking. But of course when he goes to court he has to wear his robe and a suit underneath. Okay, you have to wear a suit but do something flowy. Also wear slippers. There is only one drama where he wears heels. But in this season’s characters there is so much in common…
Except that they’re all so vindictive?
Yes, everyone has an advantage. They actually feel like they’re on top when they play a lot. And indeed this arrogance will explode in their faces. It will explode very hard. I think that’s what makes them interesting: neither the good ones are that good nor the bad ones all that bad. He’s not the one who seems so against the situation and tells Nando, “You have to know what’s fair and let go of what’s necessary.” But he will be the one who finds himself in a difficult situation because he knows too much.
He’s still a lawyer, but he’s not cute either.
We could not be sensitive. There is a patriarchal attitude among the characters who have argued many times in the series. My character confronts the judge and often tells him “You’re making a mistake”. He tells Nando the same. Because although each of them has their own desires, concerns and impulses, there is a very human side to these characters. They see how unfair this situation is for each one of them, which has brought them where they are.
You have an angelic-looking physique, but these give you characters that draw a lot of power from within and eventually become strong..
That’s the interesting thing. I am aware that you see me as something pure due to a purely hard and tough physical issue, I won’t deny it. But after all, the bad guys aren’t the ugly creatures running around frowning. That person who has a sweet and velvety appearance and turns out to be a bitch is very creepy. I’m not saying I am, because I’m an angel. That’s the interesting thing. It’s not white, it is, and that’s how I comb my hair. It is interesting to show the different faces a character or a person can have.
