Actor

The Resume

    (June 27, 1976- )
    Born in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
    Birth name is Wagner Manicoba de Moura
    Acted in 'Trash,' 'Sergio,' ‘Elysium,’ and 'The Gray Man'
    Portrayed Olavo Novaes on 'Paraíso Tropical' (2007-08)
    Portrayed Pablo Escobar in the series 'Narcos: Mexico' (Netflix)
    Portrayed Capitao Nascimento in the ‘Elite Squad’ films
    Provided the voice of the Wolf in 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish'

Why he might be annoying:

    His breakout role was as a telenovela villain.
    He turned down a part in Antoine Fuqua's Magnificent Seven remake.
    He accidentally broke a Brazilian officer’s nose while training for the first Elite Squad movie.
    He got into a war of words with former Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro over the country’s tense political situation, which resulted in his new movie getting banned from the country’s theaters.
    He doesn't believe in God, but claims to believe in a higher power.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has a purple belt in Jiu Jitsu.
    He practices transcendental meditation.
    He is lead vocalist of the band Sua Mae.
    He was named Vogue Brazil’s Man of the Year for 2007.
    He gained more than 40 pounds to convincingly play Pablo Escobar.
    He was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor in a Television Series Drama for Narcos.
    His directorial debut, 'Marighella,' was well-received and critically acclaimed.
    He got hands-down the most memorable part of the - surprisingly freaky - Puss in Boots sequel as the Big Bad Wolf (oh, and he’s also Death. And we don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way. He’s Death. Straight-up).
