Mexican actor Gerardo Taracena, who starred in Netflix’s Narcos series and Mel Gibson’s 2006 movie Apocalypto, has died at the age of 55.
His death was announced by the Mexican Academy of Film Art and Sciences, who said in a post on Instagram that Taracena was “fundamental to Mexican cinema, [with a] screen presence [that] left an intense, honest, and profoundly human mark”.
