My Take
José María Yazpik floored me as Amado Carrillo in Narcos. Born in Mexico City in 1970, he's a remarkably versatile figure who acts, voices and directs, and there's an unfathomable menace behind that quiet stare. Few actors can dominate a scene through silence rather than shouting, yet he plays a drug lord without a trace of vulgarity, letting loneliness and intelligence seep through instead. To me he embodies the depth of Mexican cinema, and I'm genuinely curious to follow where his directing takes him next. He's a performer I intend to keep watching for a long time.
