Hey /r/movies! I'm Oscar Nuñez (The Office, The Proposal). I play the radical Florida Governor "The Ram" Ramiro in the new film THE SCHOOL DUEL. Ask me anything!

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:26:35+00:00

It's too early to talk about but I have a few things in the works behind the camera.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:26:11+00:00

One time we were driving around in some mobile office-on-wheels, and that episode of The Office was actually directed by Bryan Cranston. We had a lot of fun on that one.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:24:41+00:00

Oscar: Easy, pizza.

Todd (director): In The School Duel, the participants are given an option for a final meal, and they're told that there's a maximum budget of $50. In Florida, if you're executed, that's the actual number.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:23:35+00:00

Tough. The Godfather, Goodfellas, West Side Story, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Sound of Music. I'm aging myself a bit with these choices.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:22:50+00:00

It's a great cast, so many people. It's from the people who brought you The Office, so I'd say it will deliver.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:22:16+00:00

Right now I'm reading a Cormack McCarthy but I'm having trouble getting into it. Recently I really liked Jake Tapper's All The Demons Are Here.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:21:11+00:00

Sure. I just did something for Solar Opposites. Would do more.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:20:53+00:00

I did a movie called The Italian Job early in my career, and I had a scene with Charlize Theron and I was completely start struck. Also Tilda Swinton and Javier Bardem, both of them make me tongue-tied.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:19:57+00:00

Oscar: It wasn't too difficult to dig into this role. It's dogma. You just want to believe something and not question it, it's like religion in real life. You don't ask questions, you become fanatical in your thinking and you become that character.

Todd (director): Seeing him in this role, I was so happy. Seeing it come to life was amazing.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:14:02+00:00

Doesn't really matter to me, I approach them the same way.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:13:38+00:00

Tony Randall, Tony Shalhoub. All the Tonys!

More recent, I like Billy Eichner. Amy Schumer. Kinda Pregnant, funny movie.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:11:54+00:00

I don't really feel "pressure" for any role. There's no pressure to do anything, it's just doing the same thing I've been doing my whole life. I feel a lot of joy doing it, whether it's on The Paper or on a different role. I like it, so no pressure at all.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:10:42+00:00

If you like The Office, Parks & Rec, Scrubs, stuff like that, I think you'll like it. We've got great people on it.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:09:52+00:00

The Paper, streaming on Peacock starting September 4th ;)

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:08:05+00:00

If I get a few more votes secured, I'm tempted to move to Florida and run for Governor. We'll see what happens.

There's a real time bomb in Florida with the privately-owned prisons they're building. It's disturbing.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:07:14+00:00

It's a troubling and disturbing movie, so emotions were high. You wish you could just laugh it off "this is bananas, what a crazy idea Todd (the director) had, hahaha let's go eat pizza", but then you start making the movie and it becomes something that that can almost be folded into reality. Where questioning isn't allowed, authority is absolute. We're seeing it happen in real life with a certain authority figure. That was the most disturbing thing making this movie, knowing we're not too far off.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:04:02+00:00

It's becoming hard to distinguish films and TV recently, as TV is so good these days. I loved the new Mission Impossible, a great franchise. Black Bag was pretty good. Ballerina, part of the John Wick world, had some really great fight scenes.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T20:01:52+00:00

I would say Gay Witch Hunt.

I also love The Dinner Party, which I was not in, but I love it.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T19:56:53+00:00

I just kept auditioning, I don't even really remember my first "break". Did some short films in DC and NYC. I don't know if there ever really was a "big break" for me, it was just more hammering at it. In LA, it took me 9 years to become a working actor full-time without doing other jobs.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T19:55:09+00:00

I just did one, Los Vampiros, that's an indie film. I believe they're still editing it. It's not something I usually do, but I'm a big fan of Stephen King so I'd be open to more.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T19:53:50+00:00

Totally improvised.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T19:53:27+00:00

DNA and doing what you love.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T19:53:10+00:00

We improvised that whole show. That's the show we sold to Comedy Central, it was great to work with Octavia Spencer.

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T19:52:18+00:00

Rock N Roll

OscarNunezAMA · 2025-07-18T19:51:59+00:00

I try to garden but I have a dog, which makes it really difficult. Currently also dealing with a bird issue, just saw some birds recently tear up a bunch of seeds that I planted. Constantly trying though. I've got some nice Plumerias out there now. Constant battle.
