'Sky Rojo' Cast: Find out why these actors look so familiar and where you know them from

Upon a day of release, Sky Rojo earned the sixth-most-popular show globally' title on Netflix. While it's becoming increasingly popular in the Spanish-speaking belt, it's gradually moving up in the English-speaking parts of the world. Up until now, the show was clearly mounted on Lali Espósito's shoulder due to her popularity but interestingly, the other cast members were reported to have shined better in the project and turned out to garner even more attention. Let's take a look at the cast of Sky Rojo and find out why they look so familiar.
