Actor Josh Rivera takes on a starring role in the new FX series “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez.”
For fans of Josh Rivera, be it from his musical theater days in “West Side Story,” his role as the moral, sound Sejanus in the latest “Hunger Games” or his much-beloved relationship with actress Rachel Zegler, the actor is about to show a whole new side of himself.
Rivera was asked to audition for the role by Nina Jacobson, who produced the “Hunger Games” movies; before learning of the project, his knowledge of Hernandez’s life was minimal.“But the more I learned about it, the more I felt really passionate about the story. As an actor, anything dealing with density and complexity and analyzing your own personality and the layers in personality, that kind of complexity is something that I always crave,” Rivera says.
Rivera knows that not only is “American Sports Story” the first look at him leading a project, but also a showcase of his range as an actor.
