It used to be trained professionals doing animation and they were great. Now they have celebrities and famous actors doing the voices, but that does not always work. But I think this film turned out really well, partly because the three of us (me, Ray and Denis) are comedians who are used to doing solo acts and doing certain types of voices.

How do they put that extra spin on the complicated dialogue to make it interesting?

Pablo Escobar is one of the great stories of all time. It's a bizarre, dark version of success.
