Jules Verne was one of my favorite authors when I was a kid -- Around the World in 80 Days, The Mysterious Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth -- so when I saw a 2025 Spanish tv series based on 20,000 Leagues under the Sea on Disney Plus, I immediately clicked on it.
Ulp -- it has nothing to do with the original novel, and it's a sequel, making the plot difficult to follow. Apparently the descendants of Captain Nemo are guarding the portal to an alternate world called the Verne Dimension, but a ludicrous mustachioed baddie wants in for world-conquesting. Diego and his buds were trapped there in the last series, and now he's suffering from PTSD.
It was so over-the top amateurish that I couldn't watch, except to fast-forward in search of scenes of gay interest. All I found was Diego, or maybe his lookalike older brother, strung up by the baddie.
I always check for beefcake photos of the cast before watching, and Sebastián García Huerta, who plays Diego, had several. Here he models his Calvin Kleins on a website called No Soy Heterosexual.
Entonces, eres gay?
Among the actors he has dubbed into Spanish are: Billy Barratt, Logan Kim, Cameron Crovetti, Jeremy T. Thomas, Julian Lerner, Brady Noon, Ezra Dewey, Chase Dillon, and Isaac Ordonez, who you may know as Pericles in Merlina.
Sebastian has ten acting credits listed on the IMDB, starting with El Rey, Vicente Fernández (2022), a biopic of "the Mexican music icon." Sebastian plays the teenage Vicente, who protects his mother, washes cars, boxes, gets a girlfriend, and sings shirtless. It's on Netflix.
Tell Me What You Want, Really (Dime lo que quieres, de verdad) (2023) features a conservative heterosexual couple whose lives are turned upside down by the practice of swinging with Manolo Cardona (left). Sebastian plays Lucas, who I assume is one of their kids. He doesn't appear amid the 3,500 kissing scenes in the trailer, and this one isn't available to stream (I wouldn't anyway -- it looks disgusting).
Pedro Páramo (2024) is based on the novel by Juan Rulfo, which I was assigned in Spanish class and didn't read: it "Follows a dusty road to a town of death. Time shifts from one consciousness to another in a hypnotic flow of dreams, desires and memories, a world of ghosts dominated by the figure of Pedro Páramo, lover, overlord, murderer.." So, what's it about?
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo plays the adult Pedro, and Sebastian the teen, who loses his True Love when she moves away, and is so morose that he refuses to leave the outhouse. It's on Netflix.

The tv series Between Walls (Entre Paredes) (2025) is on Hulu. Martin (Daniel Tovar) meets the Woman of His Dreams on a dating app. Neither realize that they are neighbors, which makes them off-limits for dating.
On his Instagram, Sebastian says that he had a role in Pecados Inconfesables (Unspeakable Sins, 2025), but he is not in the cast list.
Actor, dancer, singer, and model Sebastian grew up in Mexico City. He studied dubbing at the Escuela de Doblaje Niños, and began his career as a voice artist in 2019.
Among the actors he has dubbed into Spanish are: Billy Barratt, Logan Kim, Cameron Crovetti, Jeremy T. Thomas, Julian Lerner, Brady Noon, Ezra Dewey, Chase Dillon, and Isaac Ordonez, who you may know as Pericles in Merlina.
I like those names a lot better than Pugsley in Wednesday.

¡Que viva México! (2023). on Netflix, stars Alfonso Herrera, here lying atop his boyfriend in another movie. A middle class "family man" who goes to bed in silly pajamas while his wife wears a revealing outfit, he returns to his home town to become involved in humorous squabbles about his inheritance. Apparently there's a transphobic portrayal.
Sebastian plays the teenage Pancho, shown working in the mines with his grandfather, when they stumble upon a vein of gold. To ensure that the "lying brat" doesn't tell his Mom and brothers about the treasure, Grandpa kills him! (It turns out to be a dream).
More after the break. Caution: Explicit.

You're playing a lot of teenage boys in love with girls, buddy. If you're "not heterosexual," how about some gay characters?

The tv series Between Walls (Entre Paredes) (2025) is on Hulu. Martin (Daniel Tovar) meets the Woman of His Dreams on a dating app. Neither realize that they are neighbors, which makes them off-limits for dating.
Sebastian plays his buddy Alafito, who eagerly orchestrates the romance:"Es que te enculaste, y era lo que te hacia falta!" (You got some, dude!).
I went through a few episodes on fast-forward: Alafito doesn't display any heterosexual interest, and at a party one of his gifts is a gay adult toy, so maybe he's gay. But there's already a gay couple whose marital problems form a significant subplot, so I doubt it.
On his Instagram, Sebastian says that he had a role in Pecados Inconfesables (Unspeakable Sins, 2025), but he is not in the cast list.
A lot of heterosexual parts, and no guy-hugging on his social media -- could the "no soy heterosexual" model be a different Sebastian Garcia? Or maybe it's a description of the modeling agent, not of the models.
I'm still going to conclude that Sebastian is gay in real life, but unwilling or unable to seek out gay parts in his dramatic work.
