Long story: Vince Banderos, Nawelle, and their son — Casting
Vince Banderos met Nawelle at a community theater audition in late 2016. Both were early-career actors who’d come to the theater hungry for roles and eager to learn; Vince, lanky and earnest, had a background in experimental stage work, while Nawelle, warm and precise, trained in classical voice and movement. They bonded quickly over late-night rehearsals, script debates, and a shared stubbornness about casting choices.
In the clip, Vince says in French: “Laisse tomber le stress. Sois toi-même. Si tu as hérité ne serait-ce qu’1% de mon humour, tu décrocheras le rôle.”
(“Forget the stress. Be yourself. If you’ve inherited even 1% of my humor, you’ll get the role.”) Long story: Vince Banderos, Nawelle, and their son
