Shout out to Narcos for casting dark skinned Latino actors who typically don’t get big roles in movies or TV shows. Sure, they’re playing narco traficantes, but they are still fully fleshed characters with great scenes that shows their range. It’s a step closer to better representation. Who doesn’t love the actors playing gangsters in Goodfellas and other mafia movies? I see these roles as no different than those. They could’ve easily cast white passing Latinos in Narcos (and there are a few), but I’m glad they didn’t with these key roles.
Actors: Tenoch Huerta, Dandeny Muñoz Mosquera, Leynar Gómez, Joaquín Cosío, Gerardo Taracena and Alejandro Edda.
