Michael Pena = too comedic


I thought Michael Pena didn’t meet the requirements of his role, besides being Latino.

His size, physique, voice, facial appearance ... he’s too suited for comedy. He didn’t come off as the gifted DEA agent that goes after Felix.

I think of the scene where they see the banker. The way Pena exits the car and says “Thomas!” made me laugh; and this wasn’t a show that was supposed to have that effect

Not at all. I thought he was great. I've never seen him as a comedic actor. More like a dramatic actor who can do comedy as well.

I agree, he was the worst thing about season 1. Michael Pena always plays the goodie two shoes latino in everything.
