In Netflix’s surprising sequel, Murder Mystery 2, starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, the sleuthing couple is off on their next adventure, this time to a gorgeous private island. Another whodunnit packed full of insanity and mystery means a whole cast of new characters under the scrupulous Spitz eye. During the junket, Collider’s Steve Weintraub got to sit down with one of those new faces, Enrique Arce, who plays Francisco, a sly, persistent ex-football player. Arce, who’s best known for his role in Netflix’s acclaimed series Money Heist, tells us what it was like working alongside comedy greats like Sandler and Aniston, and the imposter syndrome he felt he first stepped on set.

Four years since their European debacle, Nick (Sandler) and Audrey (Aniston) Spitz are struggling to get their own private eye agency recognized. Having solved their first mystery, how hard could it be? When the couple is invited to a luxurious wedding by none other than The Maharajah (Adeel Akhtar), that very question is put to the test. The Spitzes set off to a private island, where a new crop of suspects – er, guests – are ready to party. Soon, however, The Maharajah is taken hostage, and it’s up to Nick and Audrey to sort through the clues and the mayhem. Murder Mystery 2 also features Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, John Kani, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jillian Bell, and more.

During the interview, which you can watch in the player above or read below, Arce reveals what happened to the original Money Heist series, and why it was canceled. He shares his experience being offered his role in Murder Mystery 2, the disbelief he felt before that first rehearsal, the kindness and humility of Sandler and Aniston, and breaks down his character for us.
