Beverly Hills Magazine: How did you discover acting?

Paola Núñez: When I was young I was very awkward and shy, but I started copying characters that I saw on television. By doing this, I realized I could be the person I always wanted to be while in character; I could be outgoing and confident. So I became more and more comfortable in that place, in character. I did this throughout my childhood, then when I got older, I decided I wanted to go to acting class, and it was there that I found where I truly belonged; with other creatures, called actors.
