Introducing the Cast of Acapulco Season 4
– Enrique Arrizon as Young Máximo Gallardo
Enrique Arrizon shines as the optimistic, ambitious heart of the 80s timeline. Since landing this breakout role, Arrizon has captivated audiences with his infectious charm and impeccable comedic timing, perfectly embodying Máximo’s wide-eyed wonder and growing confidence. His performance masterfully balances youthful enthusiasm with moments of genuine depth as Máximo learns life’s tougher lessons.
Arrizon carries the emotional core of the flashback narrative, making Máximo’s triumphs feel earned and his stumbles relatable. His chemistry with the ensemble, particularly Fernando Carsa’s Memo and Camila Perez’s Julia, is a cornerstone of the show’s warmth and humor.
– Fernando Carsa as Memo
Fernando Carsa steals scenes as Máximo’s loyal, enthusiastic, and perpetually optimistic best friend, Memo. Carsa, a gifted comedic actor, infuses Memo with boundless energy and an endearing lack of filter, creating countless laugh-out-loud moments. His portrayal makes Memo an instant fan favorite, embodying pure, unfiltered resort spirit.
Beyond the humor, Carsa subtly layers Memo with genuine loyalty and a surprising emotional intelligence. His unwavering support for Máximo and his own dreams of stardom add significant heart and relatable aspirations to the vibrant Las Colinas world.
– Damián Alcázar as Don Pablo
The legendary Damián Alcázar brings gravitas and unexpected warmth to the role of Don Pablo, the resort’s initially intimidating owner. Alcázar, known for powerful dramatic roles (“La Ley de Herodes,” “El Infierno”), masterfully reveals Don Pablo’s complexities – his stern exterior often cracking to show surprising mentorship, dry wit, and a deep, if hidden, care for Las Colinas and its staff.
Alcázar’s performance adds crucial layers to the resort’s hierarchy. His interactions with young Máximo evolve from stern employer to a nuanced, almost paternal figure, providing guidance that profoundly impacts Máximo’s journey, both in the past and echoing into his present.
– Camila Perez as Julia
Camila Perez portrays Julia, the intelligent, ambitious, and capable events manager who captures young Máximo’s heart. Perez brings a wonderful blend of professionalism, warmth, and determination to the role, making Julia much more than just a love interest. She’s a driven young woman navigating her own career path in a challenging environment.
Perez skillfully navigates Julia’s evolving feelings for Máximo amidst the pressures of her job and the vibrant, sometimes chaotic, resort life. Her chemistry with Enrique Arrizon provides the show’s central romantic tension, filled with sweet moments and realistic complications.
– Vanessa Bauche as Nora
Vanessa Bauche delivers scene-stealing brilliance as Nora, the sharp-tongued, no-nonsense head of housekeeping with a secretly huge heart. Bauche, a celebrated Mexican actress (“Amores Perros,” “El Señor de los Cielos”), imbues Nora with impeccable comedic timing and a fierce loyalty to her staff, particularly Máximo and Sara.
Nora’s sarcastic barbs and exasperated sighs mask a deep well of care and resilience. Bauche makes her the resort’s formidable moral compass, offering tough love and invaluable wisdom to the younger employees while dealing with the endless chaos of keeping Las Colinas spotless.
– Raphael Alejandro as Hugo
Raphael Alejandro plays Hugo, Máximo’s present-day nephew and eager audience for his uncle’s colorful past. Alejandro brings a natural curiosity and youthful energy to the role, serving as the conduit for the audience into Máximo’s memories. His reactions help frame the emotional weight of the stories being told.
As the listener, Hugo isn’t just passive; Alejandro infuses him with questions and insights that often prompt Máximo to reflect more deeply, subtly highlighting the connections between the choices young Máximo made and the man he became.
– Eugenio Derbez as Máximo Gallardo (Present Day)
Global superstar Eugenio Derbez (“CODA,” “Instructions Not Included”) is the charismatic anchor of the present-day storyline as the older, successful Máximo. Derbez exudes charm and warmth, perfectly portraying a man who has achieved wealth but finds genuine joy and reflection in revisiting his humble, transformative beginnings.
Derbez’s narration and framing scenes are integral to the show’s heart. His performance adds layers of nostalgia, wisdom, and sometimes regret, showing how the lessons and relationships from Las Colinas fundamentally shaped his life and values, making the past sequences resonate even more powerfully.
– Chord Overstreet as Chad
Chord Overstreet (“Glee”) returns as Chad, the perpetually laid-back, slightly dim, but ultimately good-natured son of resort guest Diane. Overstreet leans into the comedic potential of Chad’s privileged cluelessness and bromantic moments with Máximo, providing consistent laughs.
Despite his often superficial pursuits (sun, girls, fun), Overstreet ensures Chad possesses an underlying sweetness and loyalty. His presence highlights cultural contrasts and provides a specific type of 80s resort guest charm, often leading Máximo into amusing predicaments.
– Regina Reynoso as Sara
Regina Reynoso brings infectious energy and determination to Sara, Nora’s daughter and a member of the housekeeping staff with big dreams beyond Las Colinas. Reynoso portrays Sara’s ambition and occasional frustration with humor and relatability, showcasing her desire for more than her current path.
Sara’s friendship with Máximo and Memo is a highlight. Reynoso captures her character’s intelligence, occasional mischievousness, and the challenges of being a young woman with aspirations in 1980s Mexico, adding another layer of youthful ambition to the ensemble.
– Rafael Cebrián as Hector
Rafael Cebrián portrays Hector, a key member of the resort staff, often seen alongside Máximo and Memo. Cebrián brings a grounded presence and reliable comedic support to the ensemble, embodying the hardworking, sometimes world-weary, but dedicated spirit of the Las Colinas team.
Hector represents another perspective on resort life – perhaps more experienced or cynical than the eager Máximo, but no less integral to the functioning (and the humor) of the chaotic Las Colinas family.
– Jessica Collins as Diane
Jessica Collins embodies Diane, Chad’s wealthy, often demanding, but ultimately human mother and a recurring guest at Las Colinas. Collins skillfully balances Diane’s privileged expectations and moments of genuine vulnerability or unexpected kindness, avoiding caricature.
As a fixture of the resort’s guest side, Diane provides storylines that intersect with the staff’s world, creating comedic friction (especially with Nora) and opportunities for Máximo and others to navigate the complexities of hospitality and personal connection.
– Rodrigo Urquidi as Augusto
Rodrigo Urquidi plays Augusto, another member of the Las Colinas staff family. Urquidi contributes to the rich background tapestry of the resort, portraying the camaraderie, shared struggles, and small moments that make the workplace feel authentic and lived-in.
Like Hector, Augusto represents the broader community of employees who keep Las Colinas running. His presence reinforces the show’s theme of found family and the diverse personalities that collide in the resort environment.
– Rossana De León as Adriana
Rossana De León appears as Adriana, adding to the vibrant ensemble of staff and guests at Las Colinas. De León brings her own comedic or dramatic flavor to the role, contributing to the rich ecosystem of characters that populate the resort’s sunny yet complex world.
Whether a co-worker navigating resort politics or a guest adding to the daily challenges (or charms), Adriana’s presence helps flesh out the bustling, colorful, and often chaotic environment that defines young Máximo’s unforgettable experience.
