Amaya to Reprise Crossover Guest Starring Role as Aurelio Casillas

USA Network has tapped Rafael Amaya to return for the second season of QUEEN OF THE SOUTH as his character Aurelio Casillas from Telemundo’s superseries “El Señor de los Cielos.”

In the sophomore drama co-produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and Universal Cable Productions, Amaya will once again make a special crossover appearance as Aurelio Casillas, a drug lord who seeks power and respect as he eludes the DEA and Mexican authorities.

A native of Mexico and current Los Angeles resident, Amaya is one of the best-known actors in Spanish-language television today.  Star of “El Señor de los Cielos” on Telemundo, Amaya also serendipitously appeared in “La Reina del Sur” in the role of “El Güero.”  Named one of People en Español’s “50 Most Beautiful People” in 2012,2014 and 2016, Amaya achieved success in the television movie “Meddling Mom” and has also acted in a number of Spanish-language movies, including “Desnudos,” “Así del Precipicio,” “Caliz,” “Amor Letra por Letra,” “Fotonovela,” “Pepe & Santo vs. América,” “The Fighter” and “Atrocious.”   He starred in the movie “24 Cuadros de Terror” and in the Mexican TV series “Los Simuladores en el Capítulo” and “El Pacto Copérnico.”  He also appeared in the films “Rock Mari de Chava Cartas” and “Me Importas Tú…y Tú.” Season 5 of “El Señor de los Cielos” is slated to air on Telemundo this year.

Amaya is represented by Innovative Artists.

 

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH tells the powerful story of Teresa Mendoza, a woman who is forced to run and seek refuge in America after her drug-dealing boyfriend is unexpectedly murdered in Mexico. In the process, she teams with an unlikely figure from her past to bring down the leader of the very drug trafficking ring that has her on the run. Based on the literary page-turner “La Reina Del Sur” by internationally acclaimed author Arturo Pérez Reverte, the series stars Alice Braga (“I Am Legend”) as Teresa Mendoza, Verónica Falcón (“Besos de Azúcar”) as Camila Vargas, Joaquim de Almeida (“Our Brand is Crisis”) as Epifanio Vargas,  Jon Ecker (“Narcos”) as Güero, Peter Gadiot (“Tut”) as James Valdez, Hemky Madera (“Weeds”) as Pote Galvez and Gerardo Taracena (“Apocalypto”) as Cesar “Batman” Guemes.  The series’ season one finale featured a special guest star crossover appearance by Rafael Amaya (“El Señor de los Cielos”) as Aurelio Casillas.  David T. Friendly (“Little Miss Sunshine,” “Courage Under Fire”) continues to serve as executive producer alongside new showrunner, Natalie Chaidez (“12 Monkeys,” “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”).  QUEEN OF THE SOUTH Season 2 is currently in production.
