Los Angeles — Manuel García-Rulfo, a Mexican actor acclaimed for his versatility and charisma, is making waves with a series of notable projects in 2024. He took center stage at a recent event in Los Angeles to celebrate the third season of “The Lincoln Lawyer,” showcasing his enduring appeal in both English and Spanish-speaking markets.
García-Rulfo’s portrayal of Mickey Haller in the hit Netflix series “The Lincoln Lawyer” has captivated audiences worldwide, holding a place in the Global Top 10 for six weeks, with rankings in the top three positions. The show’s success alongside his role in the Spanish-language film “Pedro Páramo,” which also made it to the Global Top 10 for two weeks, highlights his growing stature in international cinema.
Reflecting on his busy year, García-Rulfo expressed satisfaction with his diverse roles. The lighter, more familiar territory of “The Lincoln Lawyer” contrasted sharply with the intense demands of “Pedro Páramo,” a film adaptation of Juan Rulfo’s complex novel about ghosts and unresolved pasts in a haunted Mexican village.
The actor felt a personal connection to “Pedro Páramo.” Not only is Juan Rulfo a relative, but the stories García-Rulfo heard growing up added a deep personal dimension to his role. The pressure to honor his family’s history while meeting the high expectations for such a culturally significant story was immense. Nevertheless, he praised director Rodrigo Prieto for his outstanding handling of the film.
Beyond these projects, García-Rulfo has also been involved in other significant roles, including “A Man Called Otto” with Tom Hanks and “Perfect Strangers.” His international recognition is on the rise, demonstrated when fans recognized him as Mickey Haller during a film shoot in Europe, a moment he found both surprising and rewarding.
Looking ahead to 2025, García-Rulfo is set to appear in “Jurassic World Rebirth.” The film, a continuation of the globally popular “Jurassic World” franchise, features a high-profile cast including Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend. García-Rulfo’s character is the head of a family caught in a thrilling survival story against prehistoric aquatic creatures. The production took the cast to exotic locations such as Thailand and Malta, offering García-Rulfo an “incredible experience” that he believes audiences will love.
While García-Rulfo relishes the ongoing success and the exciting new opportunities, the future of “The Lincoln Lawyer” remains uncertain. Although no official announcement has been made regarding a fourth season, there are hints that discussions and planning might be in process for future episodes.
García-Rulfo’s career trajectory demonstrates his ability to attract and engage global audiences, making him a prominent figure in both the Hispanic and international markets. As he continues to choose projects that challenge and showcase his talent, his rising star seems set to soar in the coming years.
