Best known for his charisma both on and off set, Alejandro Edda is a multi-faceted talent whose artistry extends through the Television, Film, Video Game and Animation landscapes. Edda's esteemed career catapulted to greater heights after an iconic character study portrayal of the infamous kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in the critically acclaimed Netflix Series Narcos: Mexico, as well as co-starring alongside Tom Cruise in the feature film American Made directed by Doug Liman.

He was most recently seen in the blockbuster action-horror The Forever Purge, the 5th installment of the popular franchise, as well as a series regular in season six of the FX crime-drama Snowfall, created by Eric Amadio and John Singleton. Other prominent credits include: The Chosen One, a Netflix original series adapted from the graphic novel "American Jesus" written by Mark Millard; Disney's National Treasure: Edge of History; Cocaine Godmother, opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones; a recurring role on season two of Fear Of The Walking Dead; appearing in multiple episodes over season one and two of FX's The Bridge; and an appearance on Fox Network's crime-comedy Lethal Weapon. Edda will next be seen in Kevin Costner's 4 picture Saga Western titled Horizon.

Beyond the traditional world of TV & Film, Edda appeared in the mega-hit video game The Last Of Us: Part II. He also voiced 10 episodes of the upcoming adult animated-comedy Captain Fall on Netflix. And lastly, he is also an executive producer on Paradiseland, a documentary about the enigmatic artist Reine Paradise.
