CHICAGO P.D.’s Benjamin Levy Aguilar officially joined the NBC drama this fall, and it didn’t take long for viewers to get insight into his character, Torres, in the episode “Donde Vives.”

And while fans got to see Torres’ first real test as a member of Intelligence—as well as go home with the young cop—it also served as a big moment for Aguilar, who got to lead his first showcase episode.

“There was some help from people in the cast, but I kind of just knew exactly what I needed to do,” Aguilar tells Give Me My Remote in the video below. “And trust the process of what made me become an actor—finding the parallels in my life, but breaking cycles because I have a lot of [those] I have broken and a lot to break. And I just went inward.”

“It was actually a very beautiful experience for me to do it on my own,” he continues. “I have a certain way of getting into those real moments. I have certain…not habits, because it’s not like a scientific thing, but I know what I need to do to isolate or to dig in deep inside of my heart to get there. And I was actually just really ready and really fulfilled by all the pain that I was feeling, which is kind of a weird thing. But…everything that I felt was real, and it made me grow as a person, then, outside of it. It really did. It made me find similarities or get inspired to do things in my own life, because of what I went through.”

Watch the video for more from Aguilar on filming the episode, which he calls “one of the most beautiful moments” of his life…
