Crime & Punishment: Latinos On Both Sides of the Law

A& E’s highly anticipated series, Breakout Kings (premiering this Sunday March 6th at 10/9C), is a gritty, true-to-life drama about detectives who use convicts currently in jail to catch fugitives on the run. Laz Alonso, who has played the villain in movies like Stomp the Yard and Fast & Furious is the moral center of Breakout Kings, which got us thinking about other Latin stars who have lived on both sides of the law.

Whether they’re behind bars—or reading someone their rights—one thing’s for sure: these Latinos are badass!

Laz Alonso (Fast & Furious and Breakout Kings)

He may have been the heroin dealer who murdered Michelle Rodriguez’s character in Fast & Furious, but these days Laz is a reformed criminal. As Charlie Duchamp, the moral center of Breakout Kings, Laz uses criminal minds to catch other degenerates. “He’s never been a con,” Alonso told us about Charlie. “He’s a straight cop who is in charge of this group of {convicts} and he has to keep them focused and has to keep them on board. He has to manage tempers and manage emotions while trying to save lives and catch fugitives.”
