Yahoo Autos From Ontario to 'Outer Banks' Season 3: Canadian star is the newest Netflix villain
"For me, from Markham, Ontario to this point, it's wicked," Andy McQueen, who plays Carlos Singh on Outer Banks Season 3, says
Outer Banks continues to be one of the most popular shows on Netflix, with the series still one of the top 10 most watched shows in Canada after its Season 3 premiere, but the new season also has an important Canadian connection.
As the story in Season 3 goes, the Pogues are faced with a new villain looking for the illusive treasure, Carlos Singh played by Canadian actor Andy McQueen. Singh figured out how to get this group from a deserted island to Barbados, in addition to kidnapping Kiara (Madison Bailey) and Rafe (Drew Starkey) in an attempt to get his hands on Denmark Tanny’s diary, which Singh believes will lead him to the gold.
For McQueen, being on a show that is so incredibly popular has been a "wild ride."
“For me, from Markham, Ontario to this point, it's wicked,” McQueen told Yahoo Canada.
“It really is such a cool thing to experience and to be on a show that has ... such a huge fan base. ... It's definitely really, really awesome to have people's eyes on it and people be talking about it. If people like it, if they don't like it, it doesn't matter. It creates conversation and it also creates opportunity.”
Being able to achieve that coveted success where a Canadian is able to make a mark in a U.S.-based project, with international attention, McQueen hopes this can be inspiration for Canadian actors to "not ever feel stuck."
“Hopefully it’s also inspiring to the next generation of Canadian actors who are looking to build beyond, and have more things to do,” McQueen said.
“With whatever you're doing or however you approach this craft, just not feeling stuck. There's always something out there ... that will speak to you and in turn, it works in everybody's favour."
