Diego Boneta – Jorge Zárate
Diego is a 25-year-old Actor, Singer and Dancer, who started his career in Mexico as a child star. He is best known for his roles in such film projects as Rudo y Cursi (2008), Rock of Ages (2012) and El Sexo De Los Angeles (2013). He received several awards for his role in MTV’s Mexican series, Romeo! (2011), including Best Supporting Actor at TVyNovelas Awards.
Eiza González – Maria
I was in shock because she was my best friend and I had spent more time with her than anyone else in my life. When they told me that they wanted me to play a part that killed herself, I thought it was weird, but then when I started thinking about what it must have been like for her, seeing someone that you love so much and doing something like that…it had to be terrible.
Ana de la Reguera – Teresa Mendoza
The lead actress of Rosario Tijeras is here and she is outstandingly beautiful. I remember watching her when I was still in middle school, in a show called La Viuda de Blanco (The Widow in White). She was equally attractive and easy on eye back then. Her interview was just as amazing as she said how grateful she is to work with Univision again after being away for some time working at other stations such as TV Azteca, Telemundo and others.
Roberto Manrique – El Monje
He is a very charismatic crime boss, who owns most of Medellín. He wants to expand his territory and because he sees that Brenda and Roberto have a special relationship, he decides to take advantage of it. In order for Roberto Manrique to have the power over Pablo Escobar in Medellín, he needs her father, Hernando Mesa’s help.
Juan Pablo Urrego – El Güero
María Fernanda Yepes as Brenda Castillo (season 1), Alma’s best friend who has recently gone through a divorce. She committed suicide by cutting her wrists, opening a case in which Darío, Leonardo and Esteban were suspects of Brenda’s apparent murder due to their connection to her. On November 16, 2015 she is killed by Guero after she found out about his real identity and intentions; he stabbed her before hiding her body in his car trunk.
Érica Rivas – Clara Valderrama
Clara was basically forced into being engaged and later married by her father, which she did not want. She killed herself with a razor blade in her chest after having a fight with Esteban. Erika played Maria Fernanda Yepes on Rosario Tijeras for Seasons 1 and 2, until Season 3 when she was replaced by Astrid Betancourt.
