MIAMI - It was a widely discussed rumor in the halls of Telemundo and the offices of talent agencies, and has now been confirmed: the Hispanic television network has lost its most famous and profitable actor. Rafael Amaya has not renewed his contract and is saying a permanent goodbye to his iconic character in the hit series "El Señor de los Cielos," Aurelio Casillas.
The news was initially shared by Amaya himself in an interview with People en Español. The actor expressed his "pride in the evolution of Aurelio's character and the series over the last eleven years." "I am ready for a new chapter in my career," Amaya said.
