In Night Teeth, Jorge's character Benny is an aspiring musician who picks up a shift as a chauffeur to take friends Zoe (Lucy Fry) and Blaire (Debby Ryan) to L.A.'s finest nightclubs for the evening. What he quickly realizes is that Zoe and Blaire are centuries-old vampires with a darker agenda. Benny must then work not to get swept away in a vampiric power struggle — and try not to die.
Jorge reveals he agreed to get involved in the film because Benny's character felt like a new take on a familiar role. "The idea of a driver kind of, to me, harkens back to movies that I liked and actors that I looked up to. I felt like a lot of those elements were there, and I thought that the ground for vampires was a field that hadn't been used a lot, especially for characters that look like myself."
He also said that experiences on blockbuster film sets such as Bumblebee and Spider-Man: Far From Home helped prepare him for this leading role. "I feel like what the big blockbusters prepare you for is it emboldens your confidence. You've been around the biggest sets with the biggest actors with the biggest budgets."
Jorge continues, "When you know you're tasked with that early on, you feel like a movie like [Night Teeth] is intimate. You feel comfortable taking the reins, and it feels personal. And more than anything, it makes it feel like a natural fit."
