His new series “Florida Man,” now on Netflix, shares the meme name, but he's not making fun of anyone, Edgar Ramirez says.
In “ Florida Man ” — the TV show — Ramirez plays Mike Valentine, an ex-cop in Philadelphia who falls from grace because of a gambling addiction. He also still owes a big debt to a local mob boss so he often has to do his dirty work. On his orders, Ramirez's character begrudgingly returns to his home state of Florida to track down his boss' runaway girlfriend . What he intends to be a quick trip turns into a wild treasure hunt that opens up a Pandora's box about his past.
“He’s very dramatic. I think that he foolishly thinks the way to get out of chaos is by creating more chaos. He believes that he can outrun the ghosts of his past,” he said. "I went to the places that inspired the story ... to look at the characters, the atmosphere in the air and the mood that inspired the show,” he said.
“Maybe it has to do with my journalistic background, you know? I’m interested in the human experience. I’m a very curious person," he said."That curiosity is the driving force of everything that I do, not only as an actor, but in other interests that I have."
