El Rey Network recently announced new cast members for the soon to premiere Matador. Eve Torres (WWE, The Scorpion King), Christopher Cousins (Breaking Bad, Revolution), and Margot Bingham (Boardwalk Empire) have been cast in recurring roles in the spy thriller. Matador premieres Tuesday, July 15th at 9:00 PM ET/PT.
Eve Torres will portray Reyna Flores, a sideline journalist who reports on Tony’s rise to sudden fame. She is sharp, ambitious and fit, a former college player herself who is as passionate about the game as she is about her career trajectory. Eve Torres is an actress, model, and former WWE Divas Champion. She recently appeared on Dick Wolf’s NBC celebrity reality competition series Stars Earn Stripes, winning the competition and earning over $100,000 for her charity. Eve can next be seen in Universal’s next installment of The Scorpion King for director Mike Elliot.
The irreverent, adrenaline-filled series chronicles the unlikely rise of Tony “Matador” Bravo (Gabriel Luna), a professional soccer player for the LA Riot who comes to be known as much for his antics off the field as his moves on it. But what his fans and family don’t realize is that it’s all a cover—in truth, he is a skilled covert operative executing missions for the CIA.
Cousins will portray Deputy Director Llewyn Wayne Smith, a seasoned higher up within the CIA who is in charge of the department responsible for recruiting Tony Bravo. While he may seem to be ever the professional, Deputy Director Smith keeps most of his cards close to his vest. Margot Bingham will play Abigail “Billie” Fisher, a logistics analyst who works for the CIA.
The 13-episode series, from award-winning writer/producer/creator Roberto Orci, is the second scripted original to air on filmmaker Robert Rodriguez’s English-language entertainment network. Rodriguez will direct the series premiere.
