<p><b>We know in one of the episodes of Fuller House, you and Kimmy Gibbler play Lucy and Ricky.  ;Did you watch that show growing up or do you watch it now?  ;You really play Ricky so well! Did you watch him to copy?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I definitely watched them.  ;I was always a fan of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013FCLEIG/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&;tag=feelingthevib-20&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;linkCode=as2&;creativeASIN=B013FCLEIG&;linkId=72122869df7950d65345ce3c7f62f509">I Love Lucy</a>.  ;It was wonderful to pay homage to a tv show that created a medium of sitcom.  ;All the sitcoms that came out after <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013FCLEIG/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&;tag=feelingthevib-20&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;linkCode=as2&;creativeASIN=B013FCLEIG&;linkId=72122869df7950d65345ce3c7f62f509">I Love Lucy </a>was because of that show.  ;Desi was the one that pitched the idea of a filmed TV show and live audience at the same time.  ;That was never done before.  ;Even though that&#8217;s a story that some people do know, not enough credit has been given to Lucy and Desi over the years. </span></p>

<p><b>Feeling the Vibe: Yes, in fact Lucille Ball was told that she shouldn&#8217;t keep acting, she was too shy and didn&#8217;t possess the talent.  ;We are glad she didn&#8217;t listen.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I think that&#8217;s a rule to anyone who is breaking into this business.  ;If any actor, singer, comedian listened to anyone who has ever said to you, &#8220;no you can&#8217;t do this,&#8221; we wouldn&#8217;t be doing this.  ;You need a stubbornness where you go &#8220;Oh really, you think so? I&#8217;ll show you.&#8221;  ;</span></p>
<p><strong>How did you get the role on Fuller House?  ;Did you watch the original full house?</strong></p>
<p>I just finished playing Jesus Christ for NBC and it was pilot season.  ;Pilot season is a time in LA where all the actors of the world come and audition.  ;I was doing tons of auditions.  ;I finally decided I was going to let this one go, and go home to enjoy the holiday and visit my parents.  ;I bought a ticket to Spain for a month and just before I left, I got a casting notice about Fuller House.  ;At that time I was familiar with Full House.  ;I didn&#8217;t watch the show growing up though because they didn&#8217;t have it  ;in Argentina so I watched it later on around 1995.  ;I knew everything about the show, I just hadn&#8217;t grown up with it.  ;When I went to the audition, I saw all these guys that looked exactly like me.  ;The guy that went in right before me had the casting directors laughing so hard.  ;I definitely thought he had the job.  ;I felt down and didn&#8217;t even want to go in there at that point.  ;I thought to myself, either I can go in there defeated or you make them laugh even harder.  ;I went in there and became a total clown!  ;The directors laughed even harder but you still never know with these auditions.  ;I just forgot about it and flew to Spain.  ;Once my plane landed, they said we are sorry Juan, but the directors want to see you again.  ;I took a flight right back to LA.  ;That was when I met Andrea (Barber) and Soni Nicole to do a screen test together.  ;They wanted to see how we were as a family.  ;I had the role of Fernando that day.  ;Netflix was then nice enough to fly me back to Spain then so I could finish my holiday.</p>
<p><b>How similar are you to your character, &#8220;Fernando,&#8221; and how different?  ;</b></p>
<p>I am not exactly Fernando as you can imagine.  ;What I love about him that I am not, is that this guy is unfiltered!  ;Whatever comes to his mind, he says.  ;He thinks nothing of wearing his wife&#8217;s robe, playing with his daughter&#8217;s dolls or taking his daughter to really dangerous car races.  ;I love that he&#8217;s a risk taker, but he&#8217;s also tender and sweet.  ;The similarity is that we both love singing and dancing.</p>
<p><b>You grew up in Argentina and moved around a lot.  ;Where would you say is your favorite place?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My favorite place to live was in Madrid.  ;I lived there for 4 years and made most of my friends out there.  ;After many years, my family started moving there as well.  ;It&#8217;s such a beautiful place to be.  ;The people are great.  ;People know how to have fun in Spain.  ;</span></p>
<p><b>How many siblings do you have?  ;Do you come from a big family? ;</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I do.  ;It&#8217;s 4 of us, 2 boys and 2 girls.  ;I am the 3rd in line.  ;I have a big Italian family.  ;I&#8217;m half Italian.  ;</span></p>
<p><b>You lived in Europe.  ;How is living in Europe different from the USA?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I love the fact you can walk everywhere in Europe and you meet people in the streets all the time.  ;It&#8217;s sort of similar to NY but NY is like &#8220;go go go.&#8221;  ;It&#8217;s more like a laid back California vibe and a bit of NY life mixed together.</span></p>
<p><b>How would your friends describe you? </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Generous, driven.  ;I can&#8217;t stand still for 2 minutes.  ;I&#8217;m always thinking of what to do, how to create something new.  ;I have to keep moving.  ;I&#8217;m very curious about the next step which sometimes isn&#8217;t good because you have to be able to enjoy what&#8217;s in front of you.  ;</span></p>

<p><b>What are your plans for Christmas? </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I will be going to Madrid to see my family.  ;</span></p>
<p><b>What&#8217;s on your Christmas wish list?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I just definitely want to see my parents and friends.  ;I want to go dancing.  ;I like seeing the people I love happy.  ;Other than that, material things don&#8217;t really matter too much.  ;</span></p>
<p><b>What is the first thing you do when you go on your phone?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I&#8217;m sad to say, Instagram.  ;The first thing I do when I wake up is look at my phone.  ;I&#8217;m trying to break that habit.  ;You should wake up, open your eyes, take a shower, have breakfast.  ;No, me, I just open up Instagram.  ;</span></p>
<p><b>We see that you have some live shows. </b><b>What can people expect from your show?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have ;a show on February 21st and 22nd in NY.  ;It&#8217;s a fun show.  ;It&#8217;s mostly songs that I love from the pop world to Broadway to classical.  ;There will be some new material too.  ;It&#8217;s a cabaret act, a one man show.  ;I sing, talk, tell all sorts of stories, some funny and heart touching.  ;I may even talk about life in the Fuller House family.  ;It&#8217;s a fun night in NY at a beautiful venue.  ;<a href="https://54below.com/events/juan-pablo-di-pace/">54 Below</a> is a beautiful gold room with a piano.  ;You can come have dinner and watch the show.  ;It&#8217;ll be a wonderful night.  ;</span></p>
