Hunter Reese Peña Career
Don Bloomfield, a Sanford Meisner alum, taught Hunter the Meisner acting technique at The DBA Studios. In Selena: The Series, Hunter plays “Ricky Vela,” a gifted keyboardist who initially refuses to join the Quintanilla family band (Selena y Los Dinos), but ultimately accepts. Hunter’s character develops into one of A.B. Quintanilla’s most successful songwriting collaborators throughout the series, penning some of Selena’s most popular songs. Ricky’s Selena hits include fan favorites like as No Me Queda Mas, Fotos Y Recuerdos, and El Chico del Apartamento 512. Hunter showed his commitment to the role of Ricky by gaining 60 pounds for his portrayal. Making his casting in Selena: The Series even more meaningful, Hunter revealed to Esquire Magazine: Mexico that Selena was his childhood hero.
Hunter is an ardent Latino actor that promotes Latino representation in the media. Hunter has spoken out on the paucity of Latino representation in American media, despite the fact that Latinos account up 18% of the population. It should also be noted that the existing representation of Latinos in media (as of 2020) is often restricted to damaging stereotypes. Hunter noted that as a result, the production of Selena: The Series (based on Selena’s life) is even more significant, as it features Latino performers in parts that are unprecedentedly regular.
