Emilio Rivera

Emilio Rivera is one of those actors whose mere presence sharpens a scene. His Marcus Alvarez on Sons of Anarchy, and later Mayans M.C., carries a rare blend of menace and warmth that few performers can summon. He is typecast as criminals and lawmen, but only because he brings authentic weight to them, the gravity of someone who clearly came up the hard way. That he also does stand-up and produces his own work speaks to a restless versatility. I have a soft spot for the character actors who anchor a story from the supporting ranks, and Rivera is exactly that kind of indispensable craftsman.
