WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Queen of the South.
In the opening scenes of Queen of the South season one, episode one, fans saw a glamorous Teresa step out of a helicopter and strut into her mansion, surrounded by bodyguards.
Teresa’s voiceover explained how she had become one of the richest cartel leaders in the world.
But when she stepped into her luxurious bathroom, a gunshot was fired and Teresa was bleeding to death on the floor.
Queen of the South then went further back in time to where it all started with Guero Davilas (Jon-Michael Ecker) rescuing from her abusive drug-dealing boss.
Ecker got his first big break in 2011 when he starred in Colombian soap opera Popland!
He portrayed a character called Ari Morales and was one of the leading stars in the telenovela which was about Carla, an aspiring photographer who wanted to leave her small town to find more adventures elsewhere.
The following year, Ecker starred in action crime drama Fearless Heart as Pablo Peralta but this ran for just one series.
Ecker’s next big role was then in 2013 in the Mexican version of Gossip Girl, set in the city of Acapulco.
