Rueben's Ramblings

On July 15, the El Rey Network drama Matador will debut at 9 PM .

This new series chronicles the unlikely rise of Antonio “Matador” Bravo (Gabriel Luna from Prison Break), a popular soccer star, who comes to be known as much for his playboy antics off the field as his dynamic 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 a little known branch of the CIA. “Matador” has the kind of fame and notoriety that affords him access to powerful circles of corruption and villainy. But, in balancing the dueling roles in which he’s been cast, he will be forced to confront the question of his true identity and it is this mission which will prove to be his most dangerous.

The cast includes Nicky Whelan (Left Behind), Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2), Neil Hopkins (Bones and Lost), Elizabeth Pena (Off the Map) and Peter Gadiot (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland).
