To most English-speaking audience members, Damián Alcázar is the villainous Telmarine Lord Sopespian in the 2008 fantasy film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, however the talented thespian has amassed an enormous amount of Spanish film credits over his decades spanning career. Damián got his start by studying at all sorts of acting schools, then made his screen debut in El centro del laberinto (1985). Damián focused on movies during his early career, appearing in stuff like the Raul Julia priest drama Romero (1989), the Mexican Revolution teen drama Bandidos (1991), and the factory worker murder thriller Lolo (1993). You might recognize a young Jennifer Lopez and a not so young Robert Loggia in the TV movie about nurses surviving in Mexico after a plane crash Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7 (1993). He joined Chuck Norris' little brother Aaron Norris in Overkill (1996), then starred in Ave Maria (1999). He finally hit the telenovela scene in El Alma Herida and Todo por Amor, but joined Antonio Banderas in HBO's TV movie And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003). As much as we love Antonio, it's Damián's starring turn as Vincio Cepeda in Crónicas (2004) that really got our attention. With John Leguizamo playing a reporter interviewing him, not only does Damián chill us to the bone as the secretive, sinister Cepeda, he also gets our hearts racing by stripping down to his tighty whities which he even gets wet, first in a shower scene, washing off his muddy and near naked body and again while emerging from the water, showing off his caboose in even wetter see-thru briefs. Alcázar may be playing a slippery criminal, but his slippery body is what we can't resist. Damián headed to Narnia in 2008, then joined HBO Latino's prison drama Capadocia in 2012. While Mexican fans know him from the Rubirosa (2018) movies, most Americans will remember his work as the real life drug lord Gilberto Orejuela on Narcos. He's set to play a huge role in Blue Beetle (2023), which will probably be a huge hit since comic book movies basically print money. We wish Damián Alcázar would cue our blue balls with a super sexy nude scene!
