From Colombian Villain to Spanish Judge Martinez: My Method Acting Madness By Coco Prada

¡Hostia! Here's something for the acting books - a Colombian who usually plays villains, now transformed into Judge Martinez with a proper Castilian accent. That's right, I had to trade my Colombian "parcero" for a Madrid "tío" and my villainous sneer for judicial gravitas. ¡Madre mía!

Picture this: There I am, Coco Prada becoming Judge Martinez, having spent weeks perfecting my "th" sounds (it's not "gracias," it's "grathias," darling), when in walks Blondey McCoy looking like a Zara campaign come to life. The charge? Mistaking a stolen car for a taxi. ¡Vaya tela! I've played South American drug lords with better excuses!

Method acting gold: switching between my Colombian coffee breaks and channeling my inner Spanish Judge Martinez who probably prefers jamón ibérico. The director kept shouting "More Madrid, less Medellín!" while I practiced saying "orden en la sala" without slipping into my natural accent.

The real challenge? Delivering "¡OCHO MIL EUROS DE MULTA!" with the perfect Castilian authority of Judge Martinez. Not the usual threatening lines I'm used to delivering in every crime drama. Though I must say, playing a judge is quite the upgrade from my usual villainous roles.

P.S. - They let me keep the gavel. It sits next to my Colombian coffee and Spanish dictionary - a perfect metaphor for Coco Prada's journey to becoming Judge Martinez, ¿no? 🇨🇴🇪🇸⚖️
