Variety reports that Edward James Olmos is set to play Papi Greco, a dangerous Mexican druglord who faces off against the two lead protagonists. Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but the actor - best known for recent roles in Battlestar Galactica, Dexter and The Green Hornet - is in negotiations. The big screen adaptation of the Boom! Studios title has already signed up Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington (as a Navy Seal and DEA agent respectively who both work together to steal millions of dollars from the CIA without knowing that each is doing so undercover). They end up taking on their double crossing associates in a film which has also seen Bill Paxton and Paula Patton join the cast.

It's sad when Mr. Edward James Olmos is now "best known" for his role in The Green Hornet... Poor Edward.

Best known for Stand and Deliver...
I've pretty much lost all interest in Dexter, especially after season 5. Used to love that show, now... it's gone.

The only thing I remember him from is "Selena". And he was pretty impressive in that.

This guy is most of the reason why I loved BSG. The rest of the cast is looking pretty darn good too.
