Tommy Lucero who plays 'Adare' was recently interviewed by Susan J. Farese, SJF Communications.
SJF: Tell us about your character in The Smartlys
TL: My character is Adare Smartly. He is a forty-year-old man who lives with his parents, really likes junk food, and wears an adult onesie practically every hour of the day. With this description in mind, I've been preparing for this role my entire life.
SJF: What are 3 things about you we don’t know about ‘you’…(not your character)!
TL: I host a podcast and produce/perform in my own stand up comedy shows under the name '40 oz to Funny Comedy Shows'.
I've been playing guitar for over ten years and am mostly self taught. I contribute articles on various subjects to a Northern California publication called Savage Henry Independent Times.
SJF: What compelled you to audition for The Smartlys?
TL: The fact that it was such an original idea with a very talented cast and crew.
SJF: Words of wisdom/advice for actors?
TL: See below: "There is no try." "There is only do, or do not." -Yoda
SJF: How can we follow you on social media?
TL: Twitter: @tommy_lucero Instagram: @tommytheroach & @40_oz_to_funny_comedy_shows
SJF: Many thanks, Tommy!
