Fernando Carsa continues to shine with charm, humor, and emotional depth—qualities that made him a fan favorite in Apple TV+’s Acapulco. In our recent interview, Fernando opened up about his newest project, Summer of ’69, and shared what it meant to say goodbye to the vibrant world of Acapulco after its final season.
In Summer of ’69, Carsa takes on a role that stretches his creative muscles. “It was something totally different,” he shared. “I loved the energy of the era and diving into a character that pushed me out of my comfort zone.” The project, which celebrates youthful freedom and the spirit of the ’60s, gave Fernando the chance to explore new territory as an actor while still bringing his signature warmth to the screen.
The conversation also turned emotional as he reflected on the end of Acapulco. “That show changed my life,” he said with heartfelt sincerity. Playing Memo brought him not only widespread recognition but also a deep connection with fans. “The cast became family. It’s not just a show—it’s a piece of my heart.”
Fernando also talked about the impact of Latinx representation in Acapulco, something he remains passionate about. “It showed that our stories matter, that our joy, humor, and culture deserve to be celebrated globally.”
As he moves forward in his career, Fernando remains grounded and grateful. “Every role is a chance to grow, to represent, and to make someone out there feel seen.”
