Stewart plays the role of Robert, father to Lily Trevino, played by Barbie Ferreira, best known for her role as Kat Hernandez in HBO’s hit series “Euphoria.” Stewart brings his signature charm and depth to the project, offering audiences a compelling and moving performance.
“French Stewart is absolutely sensational as a blood-related father who acts more like a wicked stepparent. It’s not even a full dramatic turn, as Bob Trevino Likes It still makes excellent use of French Stewart’s well-documented strengths as a comedic performer with some great one-liners and comedic timing. However, the more time we spend with this Bob Trevino, the more he goes from a quirky comic buffoon into an outright abusive monster. It is, without a doubt, the best performance of French Stewart’s career, and it’s not even close, said” Aiden Kelly, Collider.
