Season 2 of Robbers hits Netflix this Friday. And whoever says new season, definitely says new villain. If in the first salvo of episodes, Mehdi (Sami Buajila), Liana (Tracy Gotoas) and Tony (Samuel Joey) had to fight with the members of the mafia led by Hassan (Nouredin Farihi), this time they will have to foil their plans. d’Almeida, the new leader of the cartel from South America.
A ruthless man determined to settle in Antwerp, who forces the gang to join forces with their former enemy, Saber (Salim Kechiuche), who also has a lot to lose in this story. As a Venezuelan prosecutor comes to help the French police in the capture of drug dealers, he will cause a real war of clans in the port of Antwerp.
And to portray this mysterious man, the two creators Julien Leclerc and Hamid Hlioua called Joaquim de Almeida, a Portuguese actor whose face is probably not familiar to you, as he has played in European, American, Brazilian, Mexican and Argentinian languages.
Joaquim de Almeida, who studied in Lisbon and New York, is fluent in six languages and has acted alongside big names in international cinema. Thus, he responded to Michael Caine and Richard Gere in The Honorary Consul (1983), Isabelle Hooper in Black Milan (1987), Harrison Ford in Imminent Danger (1994), Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in Desperado (1995), Owen Wilson . And Gene Hackman in Enemy Territory (2001), or Matt Damon in Downsizing (2017).
Although he had a prolific film career, Joaquim de Almeida also had significant roles on the small screen. He played Ramón Salazar, the leader of a Mexican drug cartel in Season 3 of 24 Hours.
The comedian has appeared in episodes of Revenge, Once Upon a Time, Bones, and The Mentalist. Drug dealer roles seem to stick to his skin after he portrayed a member of the Vargas cartel in the Netflix series Queen of the South.
He was one of the main antagonists in the first two seasons of the series. In 2020, Joaquim de Almeida also lent his features to the first season of Cardinal Francesco Durrett’s Warrior Nun.
This Friday, February 16, he looks like Braqueurs Season 2 to set up a new adversary whose status and coverage could cause Mehdi and his gang a lot of trouble.
