Sandra Reyes, the protagonist Pedro el Escamoso, today is unemployed and “in debt as never before in life”

The Colombian actress Sandra Reyes, who played the role of Pedro Coral’s eternal love, in the highly successful novel Pedro el Escamoso, is “In debt like never before in life” and without a job.

The name of Sandra Reyes, who played the sensual and disciplined Paula Dávila, rings again because the Caracol Televisión production returned to the nights of Colombian television after almost 20 years.

The actress returned to prime-time as it appeared on April 19, 2001, when the first chapter of the novel aired. In an interview with the medium Las 2 Orillas, he confessed in an interview for the medium Las 2 Orillas that he has financial problems: “People think I swim in millions, and no, it really is tough.”

Reyes also assured the media: “I have had to do ropes to survive, because there have come moments that I have not had for a taxi”, and that in this way is living at the moment, “borrowing to survive.

Reyes began her acting career on national television with the 1994 youth series ‘Clase Apart’, she participated in the ‘Cartel de los Sapos’, was part of the cast of ‘La saga, Negocios de familia’ and in at least other 20 productions. He was also the protagonist of the acclaimed Colombian film ‘La pena maximum’ along with two acting greats such as Enrique Carriazo and Robinson Díaz.

Despite her career, and the fact that she received the best actress award at the TVyNovelas Awards for ‘The President’s Woman’, her career has regressed in recent years and she attributes it to the difficulties faced by actors in the country. He explained that the actors and actresses do not receive royalties for the productions in which they work, nor for the repetitions. On the contrary, they receive a “very low” percentage under the public communication remuneration law, thanks to the initiative of the late actress Fanny Mikey.

At the same time, he mentioned that in Colombia it is difficult for actors to become rich with their work, due to the form of contracting that the sector handles in the country, for the provision of services, and he mentioned that, from their own knowledge, male actors generally they earn more than women in national productions.

Reyes also mentioned that it is not true that he moved away from television. He says that on the contrary he “loves” and “loves to act”, but that there are periods of up to two years when he has not found work in national productions.

“It is not that I have distanced myself, it is that they distanced me a little, I think, or I don’t know, maybe I was not ready for the characters,” he said in the interview for the digital medium.

The actress also referred to the fact that for a while she declared herself a hippie, when she understood that she wanted to live in peace from love, and that it has represented a process in her life of “very great healing and transformation”, which has not been easy and it has been long.

Regarding his fate, he declares himself optimistic, since he said that he will soon work with public television and that he has made some castings for productions that he hopes will end in a contract for next year.

Finally, Reyes predicted that ‘Pedro el Escamoso’ will be well received by the public, again, because “humor does not have time, and what happens is that” Pedro “is humor, it is very funny and we always like him very well. I think right now we like him because we need to laugh more ”.

The numbers prove him right. The broadcast of the first chapter of this ‘retreading’ had more than 40 rating points, on October 7. A high figure if one considers, in addition, that it is transmitted between 9:30 and 11 at night, after another repetition that was also a complete success: Pasión de Gavilanes.
