Jose Pablo Cantillo has taken an action-packed new role…
The 36-year-old Costa Rican-American actor has landed a series regular role in Taken, NBC’s straight-to-series television adaptation of the film franchise.
Written and executive produced by Alex Cary, who serves as showrunner, Taken is a modern-day prequel to the film franchise that depicts how Bryan Mills (Clive Standen) developed and sharpened his particular set of skills.
Cantillo will play Bernie, a member of Bryan’s OPCON (Operational Control) team, an elite team of operatives who take care of America’s national security emergencies on the ground. Bernie is the one in the team that does not take anything too seriously until the situation requires it.
Cantillo is best known for his roles as Caesar Martinez on The Walking Dead and Hector Salazar on Sons of Anarchy. He also appeared in feature Chappie.
