Efren Ramirez

The Crank and Napoleon Dynamite star shares his playlist with us…

A Taste:

Nirvana, The Doors, DJ Irene, Cee-Lo

“Everything is on my playlist,” chuckles a smirking Efren Ramirez. “Everything” may even be an understatement. The eclectic actor’s musical palette is just as diverse as he is. From his show-stealing turn as Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite to his role as Venus in Crank: High Voltage, Efren remains an engaging and enigmatic screen presence.

However, he’s popping out of the frame more than ever these days. Efren explains, “Anything that has to do with the arts changes. If you think you’re old tricks are going to work, forget it. You have to be three steps ahead of everyone else.”

Efren sat down with us and opened up his iTunes. He shared his personal playlist and his playlist for Crank’s Venus with us. He continues, “I always create a soundtrack for each character, and for Venus that soundtrack was crucial.”

Check out Venus’ and Efren’s playlists below and be sure to see Crank : High Voltage in theaters on April 17!
