'Sons of Anarchy' Spin-Off Casts Its Lead Actors
by EG
The look of Mayans MC, the upcoming spin-off of Sons of Anarchy, is starting to take shape. Over the past week, we've heard major casting news, and now we know who's going to play several of the series' principal characters.
Most importantly, we know that JD Pardo (The Messengers) will play Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, a prospect in the Mayans MC and the character around whom the series' drama will revolve. Reyes faces the conflict between wanting revenge on the drug cartel who ruined his life and wanting to live the rest of his life right.
We also know that Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica) will play Reyes' father, a man who wants to distance himself from his shady past and lead his children to a better life.
Most recently, we got news that Richard Cabral (American Crime) will play Johnny "El Coco" Cruz, a full member of the Mayans and former military sharpshooter whose relationship to Reyes is not yet clear.
The Mayans cast also includes Clayton Cardenas and John Ortiz.
