Alvarez stars in FX’s original eight-episode series English Teacher where he’s working extra hard as writer, actor, and producer. The show aptly chronicles the complicated life of a gay high school English teacher named Evan Marquez. Audiences are loving the show and currently holds a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

As a producer and actor of the show, it’s no surprise that Alvarez has been trying to promote the English Teacher by putting matters into his own hands. There are many things in life that go through trial-and-error, and with marketing, Alvarez found this fact to be true. Initially, he tried to play it safe, posting clips from the show, reviews, and whatnot, but it just didn’t click! Thankfully, Alvarez came into his senses–well, desperation– and figured out that he just needed to dance his way to promoting the show.

Alvarez said of his light bulb moment:
“Desperation is a powerful thing. I knew with the way TV works, there’s an acute moment around when it’s released. I was posting clips, reviews. Out of all of that, this was the thing that worked — just dancing.”

There’s a certain level of understanding when it comes to posting social media content, and Alvarez understood that the TikTok algorithm needed to see more of him shaking his little tush to push more of his videos up into the algorithm.
“It becomes addictive.” He adds, “‘Wait a minute: If I just do this dance every day, I’m going to get millions of views?’” and so began his dancing journey on TikTok, X, and Instagram.
