»I was constantly getting into fights until I put my energy into acting. Then my grades improved and I became president of the student association. Before that I was like Ambrose. He doesn't know what to do with his energy because he's trapped," Perdomo once said of his role. »At the same time he is also very open and loving. I can relate to that now more than ever because being away from family for so long really puts things into perspective. When I get a FaceTime or phone call from my mom or brothers, I answer it immediately, no matter the occasion. Ambrose puts family first, and I feel the same way.”
