\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Danny Pino<\/a> (Hotel Cocaine, Mayans M.C.) has joined the cast of the MGM+<\/a> series The Magnificent Seven<\/a>. He joins the previously announced cast that includes Matt Dillon as Chris Adams, Will Patton as Cyrus T. Clemons, and Michael Ealy as Vin Tanner.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet in the tumultuous 1880s American frontier, The Magnificent Seven follows seven gifted but flawed mercenaries hired to protect a peaceful Quaker village after it is massacred by mercenaries working for a ruthless land baron trying to seize their land. As the team embeds itself and prepares to defend against overwhelming odds, they grapple with a central question: Is violence acceptable to defend people whose faith is based on non-violence? The series explores the backstories of each of the Seven, what\u2019s at stake for them, and why they choose this mission\u2014delving into themes of honor, sacrifice, redemption, morality, and faith.<\/p>\n

\n\tPino will star as Santiago \u201cSanti\u201d Vega, effortlessly charming, stylish, and funny \u2014 a master manipulator who prefers to talk his way out of trouble. Born in San Antonio to a mother who was a maid to his aristocratic father, who refused to claim him. With no one coming to save him, Santi learned to save himself \u2014 cheating cards, running schemes, talking his way into and out of everything. When Chris (Dillon) and Vin (Ealy) find him, they don\u2019t find a grifter\u2013 they find him mid-brawl, and it\u2019s the knife and gun work that stops them cold. He plays the cynic, always ready with a quip, but he\u2019s more sensitive and more haunted than he lets on.<\/p>\n

\n\tSanti is a new character that didn\u2019t exist in the original The Magnificent Seven (1960) or the Antoine Fuqua remake (2016).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series is written and executive produced by Tim Kring (Heroes, Touch), alongside executive producers Donald De Line (Billy the Kid, Wayward Pines), Lawrence Mirisch, Bruce Kaufman and Matt Dillon. Casting by Seth Yanklewitz. MGM+ Studios and MGM Television Studios are producing.<\/p>\n

\n\tPino is an actor and director who has worked across TV, film, and theater, and has helped break the glass ceiling for Latin American actors of a generation. He was most recently seen as the lead of the MGM+ series Hotel Cocaine and as the tormented organized crime boss Miguel Galindo in FX\u2019s smash-hit show Mayans M.C., on which he also made his directorial debut. Pino is perhaps best known for his portrayal of harmingly streetwise police detective Nick Amaro in four seasons of Law & Order: SVU, and his seven seasons playing Detective Scotty Valens on the Warner Brothers\u2019 series Cold Case. He is repped by Gersh and manager Geordie Frey.<\/p>\n
