Angel Torres, the Fry’s Electronics tech guy who joins forces with Oj and Em as they take on unimaginable forces in Jordan Peele’s “Nope,” which just notched a WGA Award nomination, was written as more of a cheery, can-do guy. But that didn’t seem right to Brandon Perea, who brought a more downbeat, angsty approach to the role.
“No one is really happy to be working at a tech store,” says Perea, who with his brothers used to run into Fry’s to check out all things video-game related and never encountered a gung-ho employee. “That was a real place for me.”
Additionally, Perea says, “My cheat code for this role was my brothers: one is a computer tech for Dell who goes to businesses and fixes problems. I hear all these stories like, ‘These people try to sound like they know what they’re talking about and it’s so annoying.

Last month, the Oscar-winning screenwriter and director of Get Out, Jordan Peele, shared a clip of the moment that he told Brandon Perea he’d booked his first major film role – in Peele’s subversive UFO horror, Nope. It’s the kind of video you can’t help but grin madly at. Peele tells the actor at a call-back audition that he liked the reading the actor had previously given, but he’d have to change the entire script to accommodate it. Perea bites his lip anticipating a gentle let-down, until Peele says, “I’m gonna change the entire script… you got the role.” The clip went viral. We watch as Perea goes through a rollercoaster of emotions from disbelief to joy before breaking down in tears.
Perea, who up until then had been known for his role in the Netflix series The Oa, plays Angel Torres in the film.
