A creative person with the appearance of a brutal thug often gets the role of criminal elements. The guy had connections with the criminal world not only by the will of the plot - and not quite legitimate troubles happened in life. They, oddly enough, helped to make a career in the cinema.
A little biography
Moncada Louis was born July 18, 1977 in Honduras. Before the strange incident, which abruptly turned his life around, he did not think about acting and was an average workaholic.

He also actively promotes sports and healthy lifestyles among young people who ended up in prison dungeons, urging young children not to lose heart and to regularly improve in physical terms.
Criminal past, tattoo
Work in correctional facilities for juvenile delinquents is a completely voluntary and even personal affair for Luis Moncada. In the 90s, the benefactor himself was considered a member of the gang that operated on the city streets. Once the guy was arrested for stealing a car, and then they gave the term. As a result, the rebel spent some time in prison.
At the age of eighteen, he began to carefully clog the body with tattoos, including an insulting inscription on his eyelids. The use of this particular channel of self-expression is the main criterion by which the actor receives the roles of Latin American gangsters, bodyguards and simply dangerous guys. Bold tattoos, a powerful physique, a dangerous appearance and experience of serving are the keys to the perfect credibility of such characters.
Fateful meeting
