Maybe you saw him play the title role in the film Cesar Chavez. Or maybe you saw him running scams in American Hustle. Well, we saw Michael Peña in our L.A. studio.

Michael Peña is a busy actor. He's got an IMDB page 72 films deep. He dropped by the Complex L.A. studio to chat with our very own Alex Hudgens about working with Paul Rudd in Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man, about being cast alongside Dax Shepard in the revamped CHiPS movie, and gave us his thoughts on Donald Trump's racist comments towards the country of Mexico and Mexican People.

Also, he would never run for president. But he would like to play the first "illegal alien-alien." Check out the interview above. Ant-Man opens up everywhere July 17th.
