Cuban actor William Levy is done proving himself. That’s what he tells me, sipping a cafecito (Cuban, naturally) from Miami, while Michelle Renaud beams in from Spain. We’re supposed to be talking about VIX’s series Camino a Arcadia, their new Spanish-language thriller, but our conversation quickly reveals something much deeper: Levy is in a new era.
“I’m more at peace,” he says to the Latin Times and ENSTARZ. “There are difficult moments in life that affect me deeply because I give everything to the people around me.” His honesty, always wrapped in a calm demeanor, hits differently now. Maybe it’s because of the project. Maybe it’s Spain. Or maybe it’s the fact that he’s finally choosing work, not chasing it.
Levy, who rose to fame on telenovelas and cracked the Hollywood ceiling with Resident Evil and Addicted, now splits his time between Miami and Europe. Camino a Arcadia is the latest in a string of international productions that includes a bilingual film shot in Italy and Spain. “I’m grateful,” he says. “I get to do projects I love, with teams I admire, and I feel I can finally give our audience something they deserve. Something well made.”
Though he’s a producer on Camino a Arcadia, Levy insists he steps aside on set. “Once we start filming, I’m just another actor,” he explains. “I’m there to support the team, to bring the character to life, and to respect the process.”
When I ask about the rumors, romances, separations, and tabloid-fueled drama, he offers a quiet smile. “The truth always surpasses fiction,” he says. “But I’m good. Tranquilo. I’ve had the good fortune to work with incredible people through hard times. Michelle, for example, has been wonderful.”
Speaking of fiction vs. reality, Levy drops a surprise: he swears he saw a UFO. “I wasn’t alone,” he insists, eyes wide. “We were filming Bajo un Volcán, and six of us saw it. It wasn’t normal. It moved like a star, but it came close, moved around us.” He laughs nervously. “I know it sounds crazy, but it happened.”
As for Camino a Arcadia, Levy promises a gripping ride with layered characters and top-tier production value. No, there won’t be the shirtless seduction scenes his fans might expect—this is something deeper.
“It’s a thriller,” he says. “There’s more pain, more questions. It’s not about showing skin. It’s about showing truth.”
