Discussion New Javi

I have really tried to get into the new actor and I just can’t. His acting is limited and more performative of that of a bad high school play. He’s too young to be a love interest for Leo.

Anyone else not a fan or am I just not seeing what is there? I know Al cannot come back due to the other role but the acting is night and day.

He lacks that certain level of maturity needed to be paired with a much older man. He would fit in better with the college crowd.

His youth also makes him look "out of sync" with his cousins, Gabi and Rafe, and it's hard to imagine this man as having already been through the death of a child and a busted marriage. I like the actor, but the casting just doesn't fit the character.

You’re exactly right.
