How Rocco Vargas got his role on Mayans MC  

Thank you for all your service and contributions Mr Vargas, You are a REAL ONE

Thanks for your service big dog my favorite character on Mayans.

Read about this man’s service to our country in the book “The Twenty-Year War.” Thank you for your service sir! 🙏🇺🇸

Mental health is a real one. STOMP the stigmaaa!

I am going miss this show like i already miss Sons

He is the most genuine person, you can tell he is a good guy. Thank you for your service and sacrifice

Real, honest and Powerful!

Much respect sir. Thank you for your service.

He has many parallels to the character he plays, a great man.

There's always such a real element in his character on Mayans MC.. him and Coco... was just so real.. God Bless you Rocco!!! You're lowkey the best character left on Mayans and im glad they gave you your own story. There's something very real and important about your character. It touches the viewers because we all have a friend, family member or acquaintance that reminds us of Rocco.. love ya big dawg keep fighting the good fight brother

The story about his son being afraid of him and possibly being the reason he moved out is so heartbreaking. I hope in time he can learn to better understand the issue he's facing.

Stay strong Brother and Thank you from a grateful American...Plus I think your great on Mayans...

Love the Rawness of this. It cuts deep...

thank you for serving. hits home like crazy. never got change to serive but have trauma like crazy.

This man shows every side of what it’s like trying to be a GREAT man in todays society. A protector, caregiver, provider, lover, partner, father, etc. Respect is earned and he’s earned every penny!!! 💯🔥 keep doing what you’re doing

great story. I have been acting for 10 plus years and to hear that is motivation!

Glad to call this man a brother and friend. Powerful

Wow man I’m very impressed did not expect him to be this well versed no wonder he still on

BRO I hope this helps. EMDR treatment helped me reconcile the traumatic shit from the past. The unpredictability has subsided and have found peace with it. SEMPER FI.

wow. this hit hard..

Vargas thank you for your cervix. Best of luck to you Bruh, I'm always glad for veterans who make good.

God bless you, Vincent. Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your story, brother. Army veteran myself. Desert Storm.

Great interview. Rocco is a great person and does a lot for the veteran community.

Mad respects to a veteran warrior. . 👏👏👏👏👏. You are the glue that keeps the characters together .

Thank you John for bringing us attitude from people we would other not know about

This man is a true warrior. Thanks Brother, and thanks to Jon for always featuring such awesome, real guests with real stories.

He looks so different, wouldn’t even recognize him. Loved the character.

Damn, wasn't expecting that rawness. Big respect to that man.👊

Rocco is a beast! On mayans and real life. Thank you for your service to OUR Country

Him and Johnny Cruz my absolute favourite on Mayans

This just gives me a lot of hope that anything can happen! From making small movies on RU-vid, having fun acting and enjoying the full experience it brings. TO. Being on one of the most famous shows and universes we can watch! Its a blessing that, as an up coming actor myself. The possibilities are endless. Thank You Jon!!

Dam got me tearing up.. as a father that's the worst feeling in the world, thanks for your service.

Gonna miss Vincent playing Gilley.. he’s been the one of the baddest guys in the show.

MR. VARgas literally picked up the phone for me when I was in the shit in my head and I was at the v a in Illinois getting refused treatment

Love Rocco! Been following him since he was on the podcast Drinkin Bros.

come to think of it, Rocco would be a perfect addition to the upcoming Punisher series...

Vincent's this made me cry...

Genuine guy big up yourself

Vargas and Cabral need an episode together

So glad he got the role he was one my favorite characters always awesome his loyalty to his friends and brothers but he also never would betray the club when it came to nut up time his emotions was flowing in the finale you could see I kept thinking he’s gonna let go of EZ and defend him but he didn’t epic acting

What a clip, Ty for your honesty

Damn mad respect always liked the character on Mayans but this man in real life is a true warrior.

Your part in Mayans is wonderful. I love your enthusiasm, dedication and the constant learning of your craft. Keep that going ! Brother, its one day at a time so continue your journey. Scorpion 1A Combat MP Iraq- 2003/2004

Wow he’s dropped some lbs, he’s a great actor, Jon is a awesome listener….

Best of luck to you and your Fam brotha may you continue to get the best opportunities out there and everything works out with you and your son God doesn’t put us through anything we cannot overcome 🙏🏼💙

I've been following Rocco since he was appearing in MBest11x videos, hosting the Drinkin' Bros podcast, Range 15, and even met him briefly at the Drinkin' Bros live event in Denver several years ago. Super humble and polite guy.

Great guy right here…good things happen to hard working good people 😎🤘🏻

I know Vargas from the mil and he is a stand up guy. The shit he says at the end of the interview is straight truth for a lot of us crusty veterans.

So sick to see an OG Drinkin Bro on here 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

What a crazy story of Rocco Vargas

Thank you for everything man and I’m sorry you go through that. I have watched you since the beginning on RU-vid and Mayans and you are one of my hands down favorites. Thank you for your service and thank you for entertaining me now. I wish you the best.

I absolutely love this podcast

That Mayans scene where he made the bed military style makes so much sense now... and was obviously natural to him. Certainly felt like it in that scene anyway.

Blessings 👏 & Prayers to Vargas!!

Man, love your channel, love Rocco!!!

Jon on Mayans would have been dope

Thank you for your service!!!! Mr. Vargas. For all you've done.

Awesome interview that was F-ING DEEP. I RESPECT

Your a true one brotha, I know all about them night terrors it's sucks and I get them every night and it sucks when I'm out of town and not knowing where I'm at or if my wife is near me...I went to Iraq 06-08 Mosul, Iraq with the CAV, I'm from El Paso TX and got stationed back home...Continue doing you brotha you played a great part in The Mayans and I've been following before to brotha...🙏💯❤️...Also I haven't seen my brothas and sistas in over 15 years and at the end of the month there all coming to El Paso TX so we can all see each other again...We keep in touch but need to see each other in person and release everything we went through....I know that burn smell brotha it's a smell that I will never forget....Stay Blessed...

Well deserved. Vince is one damn good dude.

Here in the UK i watched Mayans MC on the iplayer up to season 3. Currently waiting for season 4 to come out in the UK and i cannot wait!. I thoroughly enjoyed SOA and thought nothing could top the series however Mayans M.C hits the sweet spot for me.

Thank you for sharing this!!!

Roccooooo!! Was pissed when they killed off coco!! Knew he woupd do a great job when i found out he was cast in Mayans M.C.

Love this . . . thanks for these 11minutes. Would love to see all of it.

Love this guy he's so humble 😄

We need the full interview

Shit, that took a turn. Thanks for sharing your story bro

Hell yeah Rocco!!!!👏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🔥👊🏼

Real Ones Best Podcast 💪💪🤘

Big fan of Jon’s but REALLY the knit ski hat indoors 😂😂😂 I can’t …

Nice guy, love the show ashame its finished now

They should have done more with his character

Wow that burnt family story had me 😮😢

Steve Howey from Shameless was also on the Sons of Anarchy around the time when Bobby went no man

Never thought one day the homie would be on a Bernthal podcast. Dope, stay up. ✌️

That was deep keep ur head up bro

dope interview

Can wait to see Jon back as the punisher, I am currently rewatching s2 of daredevil

Great interview!

Mr Vargas I am sorry you have these mental scars! Your going to feel better, I just know it.

Can't wait for season 5. Gilly is the only one who has seen Issac Packer

Where’s the full podcast!?

Well explained!

He's a good man, and an even better father.

Damn it! Hope you pull through brotha!

FUCK YEA IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO DROP

We as civilians have no idea what these guys go through Sun-Sat week by week. Sensitivity to THESE warriors is so important and not the petty voices that hit us every day that they don't "feel" right in America. I could give 2 sh!ts for folks that 'claim' to suffer when our brothers and sisters truly did suffer for ALL of us.

Cool stories Rocco Life can have some serious dimensions sometimes as well as new doors and avenues Depth of Life I guess Mayans is a great show Rocco Good to meet ya Jon always 👍

Wow he a real one

Damn! That got me.

Respect

I’ve been watching him for a long time on RU-vid with mat best

Respect off top to John who is one of my favorite people and love the podacast. To my point i had the honor and privilege to make a short film with Vincent Vargas in Salt Lake City a few years back and Rocco is great great man the love and respect he showed me and being my first time in a movie giving me tips on acting. I played Big Casper if you remember me carnal just wanted to say thank you for being such a great person and treating me with respect.

My heart breaks because I thought you and Matt and the other guys took care of each other. To hear that you were hurting financially makes me wonder if my loyalty to BRC is misplaced

Rocco is the man.

Takes a real man to be that open and admit the demons that haunted him.
