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.
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.
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.
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.
¡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.
