The Venom: The Last Dance actor had a small role in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, portraying Pablo/Juan in Dr. Ivo Robotnik’s telenovela obsession “La Última Pasión.” Fernández only appeared alongside The Young and the Restless actress Sofia Pernas, which explains why the actor never got the chance to meet the other Sonic the Hedgehog 3 stars.

In an interview with ComicBook, the Ted Lasso actor mentions his excitement and admiration of seeing Jim Carrey watching him perform on screen.
“It’s like, there’s the excitement and how Jim Carrey watches my passion,” he said. “That’s me watching all Jim Carrey plays comedies growing up. He’s been an inspiration for me since I was a kid. If I think of my favorite comedies, I always think of so many of…his films. And I think somehow he inspired me and he made my comedy and informed my way of being in terms of playing jokes. Acting is not something I always thought I was going to do. But I think some of my jokes and I love his physicality and you know, he’s a crazy man in a good way. And I love that. And so that’s why for me was so inspiring and I didn’t meet him on set because he’s just watching me on the screen.”
Fernández continues to mention how he hopes to meet Jim Carrey soon and acknowledges that the actor knowing about his existence has made his life. His heartwarming admiration extends even further on, as Fernández chats with Comicbook.com’s Chris Killian about another Sonic the Hedgehog 3 actor he would love to meet one day.
Fernández admits to not interacting with the cast, given his filmed portion was done separately.
“No, I haven’t met. I also hope one day I can meet Keanu Reeves. He’s also a hero. And yeah, I haven’t met any of the guys … I’m just grateful Jeff Fowler, gave me the opportunity … and that meant the world to me. And yeah, I haven’t met and none of the cast, but I hope I will meet them one day.”
While Cristo Fernández hasn’t had the chance to meet his co-stars, there’s no doubt that they would recognize him from his work as Dani Royas, who we hope to see return for Ted Lasso Season 4. The actor has earned his way into some of the most recognizable franchises in Hollywood, having acted in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and Venom: The Last Dance.
Sonic 3 is available to rent or own on digital now.
