‘The Penguin’: All About Rhenzy Feliz’ Victor Aguilar, His Stutter & The Future He Chose In Episode 3


Victor Aguilar, played by Rhenzy Feliz, is a new creation for HBO's adaptation about the classic DC villain.

Unlike Colin Farrell, Rhenzy Feliz didn’t have source material to peruse before accepting the role of Victor Aguilar — The Penguin’s man Friday who ends up saving his boss in episode 3 by driving a car into Nadia Maroni’s henchmen. Victor is a new creation for HBO’s adaptation about the classic DC villain — which means Feliz, best known for voicing Camilo in Encanto and playing Alex Wilder in The Runaways — had a blank canvas to work from when it came time to create the perfect protégé for Oz. Feliz described working with Farrell as if it was seeing “magic being done in front of you,” though he admits to being terrified when the Irish actor first ambled on set in his full body suit and prosthetics.
