Wagner Moura
Veteran actor Wagner Moura has enjoyed a successful acting career in his native Brazil but broke through with audiences all across North America this year as the star of Netflix's "Narcos," which chronicles the infamous exploits of Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar and the Medellin cartel. Moura plays Escobar himself, a role for which the Brazilian actor had to learn Spanish. Interestingly, it's not his first project that focused on the conflict between law enforcement and drug lords. In 2007's Elite Squad, he portrayed the other side of law as the head of a special drug enforcement unit in Rio de Janeiro.
