That's when it really hit Sides that he was on a massive series. In terms of highlights, Sides said it was filming the musical number for 'Grease Is The Word,' which is really the first thing you see in the series. 'But you’ve got to feel comfortable because it's the ‘50s, you're portraying an era, you're trying to show what it was back in the days and that's what it was.' “My character Potato has a few … misogynistic comments that when I was going to say them, I was like, I'm not sure about this,' he said. Once Sides started filming Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, the actor said it was hard to get into the '50s-era world. Misogynistic comments were hard to stomach We're going to be talking about friendship, about discrimination, racism and all these things that still prevail nowadays.” “There's going to be a lot for the audience that watched the original Grease. “Definitely taking on this role was an amazing opportunity, but it definitely was shocking to get it because of the name, for sure.” “You're talking about John Travolta, who's an amazing actor, and … you’ve got Olivia Newton-John and all these actors who left a very huge legacy,” Sides said.

Just at the beginning phase of his career, Sides is very aware that he has big shoes to fill, getting his big break on a spinoff series of one of the most well-known films. Sides was born in Guadalajara, where he started doing school plays, before leaving for Vancouver where he studied and got his agent.
