It has been hard to miss Cuban actor, Alex Fernandez, on television lately. He's played roles in Lifetime's hot new dramedy DEVIOUS MAIDS, TNT soap opera DALLAS, FX police drama THE BRIDGE, and will be featured in the highly anticipated new ABC series KILLER WOMEN in January.
Fernandez played a key role in the second season of DALLAS: Roy Vickers, the sleazy drug henchman who was set-up by Drew Ramos (Kuna Becker) for drug possession and arrested. In the season finale, Harris Ryland (Mitch Pileggi) had him executed to keep him from sharing secrets about his drug operation but not before he tipped off Pamela (Julie Gonzalo) about Cliff's involvement.
In DEVIOUS MAIDS, Fernandez brings comic relief as Pablo Diaz, the loudmouthed husband of Judy Reyes' Zoila Del Barrio. The husband and wife team navigate raising their daughter together in Marc Cherry’s newest twist-filled drama, which follows Latina maids with ambition and dreams as they work for the rich and famous in Beverly Hills.
In THE BRIDGE, Fernandez stars as FBI Agent Richard Heller, as he investigates a serial killer menacing Mexico and The Unites States along the Texas-Mexico border. The investigation is complicated by the rampant corruption and general apathy among the Mexican authorities and the violence of the powerful borderland drug cartels.
ABC drama KILLER WOMEN is set to premiere mid-season and is produced by MODERN FAMILY's Sofia Vergara. The series follows Fernandez as Texas Ranger commander, Lt. Luis Zea, the leader and confidant of Molly Parker (Tricia Hefler), a recently divorced woman, former beauty queen and a daughter of a sheriff, who rises to the top ranks of one of the most elite and male-dominant law enforcement establishments around, the Texas Rangers. Fernandez's character sticks by her side, despite the notorious boys-only club of The Texas Ranger force.
When not in front of the cameras, Fernandez directs a theater company in Los Angeles and is an accomplished screenwriter. In addition, he is noted for his acclaimed voice over work, in video games, especially: as the lead in
Final Fantasy X,
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing,
Quantum of Solace,
Splinter Cell: Double Agent and
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.
