I caught up with actor Antonio Jaramillo; he’s someone I really enjoy talking to. I love his passion for his craft. You’ll see him soon as “Michael ‘Riz’ Ariza,” on FX Mayans M.C. We talked about how this role came to him and what we should expect from the show. It was a lively conversation and you can listen in on it.
Antonio Jaramillo
Here’s a little background on “Riz,” El Secretario of the Mayans M.C., Santo Padre Charter. A Santo Padre local, Riz’ broken upbringing on the border equipped him well to navigate the outlaw world with diplomacy and cunning. Riz loves his hair as much as his motorcycle.
Mayans M.C. is the next chapter in Kurt Sutter’s award-winning Sons of Anarchy saga. Set in a post-Jax Teller world, Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes (JD Pardo) is fresh out of prison and a prospect in the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border. Now, EZ must carve out his new identity in a town where he was once the golden boy with the American Dream in his grasp.

The series looks raw and greedy with a large cast and with subtitles, which has intrigued me to watch.

Now as Dante Pardo, his mission is to infiltrate a dangerous band of inmates and guards that operate inside and outside of prison who are the prime suspects of the kidnapping of the teenage daughter of U.S. Judge, John Morris (Guy Ecker). Inside La Rotunda, Lázaro has to find out who carried out the kidnapping and the whereabouts of the girl.
