Thankfully, it “wasn’t hard” for Posey to find his place, and now, he’s proud to bring Latino representation wherever he can. Recently, he was even reminded of how important doing so is.
“I was at Universal Studios and we were eating, and this waiter comes up to me, and at the very end, he’s like, ‘Hey man, so, like, I wanted to bite my tongue, but what you did on Teen Wolf, being a Latino lead, really, really, really inspired me. And I looked up to you so much, that if you could do it and represent our culture, that I maybe could too,'” Posey recalled. “And it was one of those stereotypical moments that you hear [about], people inspiring people like them to do what we do…and it really stuck with me.”
In the future, Posey “wants to keep representing,” but also give back by starting a foundation or charity.
