Brian Jordan Alvarez returns to acting with new FX show English Teacher

Brian Jordan Alvarez has shifted his focus back to acting after initially stepping away from producing and writing. He was inspired to create the new FX show "English Teacher" after being encouraged by writer-producer Paul Simms. "English Teacher" blends humor with cultural commentary, set in a Texas high school. Alvarez drew from his own experiences, highlighting the dynamic between teachers and students as they navigate changing societal norms. The show features a diverse cast, including Alvarez as Evan Marquez, and explores themes of love and relationships in a lighthearted manner. Alvarez credits the collaborative environment with FX for enhancing the show's development.
