Harvey Guillén is making a special run for the border…

The 34-year-old Mexican American actor has joined the voice cast of Audible’s original podcast The King of the Peso.

The project is an adaptation of Pietro La Greca Jr.’s memoir Pesos: The Rise and Fall of a Border Family, which tells the story of an Italian immigrant and con man who ran Mexico’s biggest money laundering scheme during the worst economic period in the country’s history.

In addition to Guillen, the voice cast also includes  Peter Stormare and Teresa Ruiz.

The eight-part series stars Guillén as Picho, who serves as guide.

Stormare plays Pietro La Greca, who was on a relentless quest for power, marrying into a Mexican dynasty for some extra spice, and he hopes, wealth beyond his wildest dreams.

His wife and Picho’s mother Maya, played by Teresa Ruiz serves as the fountain of unconditional love, fighting to protect her son, while also becoming the unsuspecting heiress to both love and deception.

The series showcases dueling patriarchs, high-finance scams, murderous drug cartels, and government corruption, while also depicting the emotional decades-long father-son struggle over the boundaries of loyalty and love. It also features strong female characters: from the mother who stands up to her bullying husband to save her son, to the tough-as-nails manager of the currency exchange at the border who keeps the money moving, equally at home in both the legitimate business world and in the shadows of criminality.

The cast also features Alejandro Edda as Maya’s social butterfly brother Nando and Daniel Mora as her powerful border-controlling father, Don Fernando.

It launches on Thanksgiving – November 28.

The Audible Original was created and directed by Louise Abbou and is executive-produced by Leopoldo Gout, Pietro La Greca, John Rogers, and Lisa Gallagher.

The book is also being actively discussed as the basis for a TV series.

“I’m thrilled to see The King of the Peso brought to life in this Audible Originals series based on my memoir and life story” said Pietro la Greca Jr. “With 36 voices capturing the intensity and complexity of this saga, and the incredible talents of actors like Peter Stormare, Harvey Guillén and Teresa Ruiz, we’ve created a dynamic experience that honors the raw truth of my family’s history. I can’t wait for listeners to experience this journey of loyalty, betrayal, and the high-stakes world that shaped it.”
