Wilmer Valderrama On ‘From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,’ Robert Rodriguez, His Workout [VIDEO EXCLUSIVE]

Wilmer Valderrama stars as Carlos Madrigal in Robert Rodriguez’s new television series, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, which expands on Rodriguez’s popular horror thriller From Dusk Till Dawn which he made with the help of Quentin Tarrantino. “It’s an exciting show, it’s an exciting project.” Valderrama told uInterview exclusively. “Robert’s directing, and to see Quentin Tarrantino’s characters come to life on television, is exciting.” The show premiered on March 11 on Rodriguez’s new channel, El Rey. After a successful first season, the show is set to continue with a second season in early 2015.

Valderrama, who famously played the role of Fez in the sitcom That 70’s Show, will need to build his frame up a little more for this role than he has in the past. “It’s crazy. I’m working out twice a day, and I’m eating like six times a day and eating crazy amounts of protein,” he told uInterview.

Valderrama has launched a new charity with his friend Joe Huff. This Helps offers a clothing line that donates months of education to children for each item sold. “Initially what we wanted to do was create a line and an apparel that brought you pride and that also created a conversation,” Valderrama told uInterview. “Our first chapter is going to be education: we’re trying to raise it to 1,000 months of school and the raise starts now.”
