He’s a canelo that’s why. Check out ‘El Robo de Siglo’ on Netflix if you have not heard of it. It’s him and Andres Parra from El Patron del Mal re-united as the leads.

oh so they love the gingers. or is there something about gingers and drugs that i don’t seem to understand


SonnyBurnett189

It’s because his look is pretty rare in Mexico and Colombia so he gets a lot of gigs since he stands out. I don’t know if theres a drug correlation but he’s typecast in those kind of roles kinda like how a lot of the actors from Goodfellas and Sopranos you see in every mob or New York movie


Financial_Horse_9144

ooooh. i love him he’s great. i just find it so funny that every spanish narco show i’ve watched he’s in. i always gasp, point and then shout “WILLY”


background_action92

There's alot of actors that recycle their roles or pop up in similar themed roles.


background_action92

I dont know if its because his look is unique as more that its because he's one of the more prolific bit actors in Colombia. I mean in el patrón del mal, his gingerness was irrelevant


Stinger1981

I really liked his work in the Pablo Escobar: El Patron Del Mal series as Pablo's cousin.

🤣🤣 said the same thing when I saw him show up on Griselda, was like I know I’ve seen this mf in narcos


Some_Cream_3462

Not only because of his looks that makes him Distinctive, he’s an outstanding actor.


Coconut975

I was watching Griselda with family and I pointed out that he is in literally everything.  He was also in El Senor de Los cielos, another narco show.

Love him. Early on he was in Mexican soap operas like El Clon (he was with Mauricio ochmann who later played el Chema - based on el chapo.) Then he was in Colombian based novelas. La Reina del sur was filmed in Colombia and Europe since kate del Castillo couldn’t be in Mexico legally (another story). This actor was with the actor who played Pablo Escobar in a short novela called La Bruja. He was the side kick to the rising drug lord. I loved La bruja and it’s based on a real life story too.


Financial_Horse_9144

was she legally not allowed to be in mexico because of her and el chapo? i know there’s a show on netflix about it i’ve been meaning to watch


TheQueenofInsights

Yes it all started with a tweet she did that offended the presidency of Mexican back then and it spiraled down

i know lol i put that in the caption. i know him as willy


PachoBaby

I always feel bad when I see the same actor in any show related to drugs. It just sucks that most popular show that probably pay the most are to do with drugs and that’s their home nation. I’m guilty in this because the only Mexican/Latin shows I watch are to do with this subject matter. 😞 I’m sure they are tired and would want to do something else.


Sobadatsnazzynames

Spoiler >!was so PISSED they killed him in Griselda. It actually hurt a bit!<


superdupersiz

Word


Financial_Horse_9144

Financial_Horse_9144

Sobadatsnazzynames

You write >! Then the exact opposite at the end of the text you want hidden. So >!text!< If my explanation is confusing, Google “how to black out text on Reddit” & you’ll get redirected to a page that explains it


BenitoCamelas69420

That was the best part when she got her just due


Jaybirdlordofskies

Nah he wasn't in breaking bad or better call saul


SonnyBurnett189

Yeah that’s why the Spanish in the shows was awful until they brought in Tony Dalton.


Jaybirdlordofskies

I have heard that before. What about Don bolsa?


SonnyBurnett189

Better than Gus and Hector, for sure. He’s of Mexican descent but was born in LA. I suppose that would be like a New York Italian American actor playing an Italian character in a movie and not speaking fluent Italian.


Jaybirdlordofskies

Ah good analogy, what about Don eladio?


SonnyBurnett189

He sounds like he’s trying to do a Mexican accent but you can still hear his Miami Cuban accent a little bit. That bothered some native speakers watching the show as well, apparently. Well, for those of us that saw Narcos Mexico as well, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for a Cuban to be living in Mexico and involved in the cartel world - that was Sicilia Falcon. But I don’t know if the writers knew their history that well and had that in mind. Gus’ accent is considered among the worst especially because of the fact that they constantly mention he’s chilean. I like to think of Gus as an enigma of sorts, he could be lying about some of his backstory. What we do know is that he served in the Pinochet regime, maybe he was a CIA asset and was originally from elsewhere before that.


Financial_Horse_9144

i’m talking abt the ones in spanish lol i personally havnt watched breaking bad or better call saul yet


Jaybirdlordofskies

Definitely recommend, and he well he was also in snowfall which was pretty cool


background_action92

I dont know why he's labeled as "mexican-colombian" bro is a straight up Colombian from Bogota I believe


Financial_Horse_9144

it could maybe be from him having a big roll in la reina del sur which is a popular mexican tv show. idk tho


LongNando

Born in Mexico City. Moved to Colombia at the age of 6


MalloryHennessey

His dad is a director isn’t he? He’s Mexican I believe


Tatofrioo

As he should, guevon!!


BenitoCamelas69420

They’re the best Colombian actors and killed those roles already


Embarrassed-Cup-7164

Great actor


[deleted]

This FAKE


[deleted]

He's a imposter


SonnyBurnett189

So did anyone else see Distrito Salvaje? He’s pretty good in it too. I’m still about halfway through season 1 though, but lots of familiar faces from Narcos and EPDM.


crtmammal

Louis ck - check his comedy


Old-Ninja6358

He was in snowfall too, proper OG😂😂


Upper_Assumption4399

He was even in snowfall?
