MIAMI — Rafael Amaya has been inside the skin of Aurelio Casillas for more than a decade. For him, those 10 years have been a journey between heaven and hell. After a sustained career in modeling and acting, he found international success in the story of El Señor de los Cielos (ESDLC), the super series inspired by the character of Mexican drug dealer Amado Carrillo Fuentes.
He also faced a perilous health crisis in 2020, during which Amaya vanished for months. Eventually, he made the decision to voluntarily seek treatment at a rehabilitation facility owned by Mexico's boxing icon, Julio César Chávez.
