PRIDE : The Recruit’s Kaylah Xander Nuñez on Chosen Family, Representation, and Video Store Nostalgia

SHOW NOTES

She’s smart, sharp, and stylish—and in The Recruit, Kaylah Xander Nuñez keeps Noah Centineo from totally unraveling.

On this episode of Pride, host Caitlynn McDaniel sits down with Kaylah to talk about her role as CIA lawyer Amelia Salazar in the hit Netflix series The Recruit. They chat about chosen family on set, Latine representation in Hollywood, and the kind of roles Kaylah’s ready to say “no” to now.

Plus, she shares details about her upcoming passion projects—including a short film about estranged sisters, and her very first solo film about Vancouver’s beloved last video store, Black Dog Video.
Whether you're here for CIA drama, Shania Twain dreams, or just missing the days of picking out VHS tapes with your family—this one’s for you.

What do you think season three of The Recruit should look like—and should Kaylah play Shania Twain next? Let us know by tagging @pride on social.
