'Sons of Anarchy' Spin-Off Gets 'Breaking Bad' Actor
by EG
FX's Sons of Anarchy spinoff is getting a taste of Breaking Bad.
Raymond Cruz, best known for his role as Tuco on the AMC drama and spinoff Better Call Saul, has signed on for a role in Mayans MC, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The drama is set post-SOA and centers on EZ Reyes, a prospect in the Mayan MC charter on the California/Mexico border who struggles with his desire for vengeance against the cartel as well as his need for respect from the women he loves.
Cruz will play Che "Padre" Romero, a full patch member of Mayans MC, Santo Padre and the founder of a local Mexican MC. With road-worn experience, he keeps a paternal eye out for the club. He is the voice of reason amongst the chaos. Cruz will appear in the pilot and, should Mayans MC be picked up to series, he will recur.
Raymond Cruz has also had a major role in Major Crimes, and his first film appearance was in 1987's Maid to Order.
