Michael Mando

Michael Mando is one of those actors who makes you feel genuinely cheated that he isn't a bigger household name. His run as Nacho Varga on Better Call Saul was quietly one of the best performances in that entire prestige drama era — a man trapped between ruthless cartels and his own moral code, played with a kind of aching restraint that was devastating to watch. And then there's Vaas Montenegro from Far Cry 3, a villain so electrifyingly unhinged that gamers are still quoting him years later. The Quebec City-raised, Dawson College-trained actor clearly has range to burn, and his Scorpion in the Marvel universe hinted at even more firepower waiting to be unleashed. The industry keeps casting him in roles that should make him a star — someone just needs to give him the lead already.
