8 Famous Actors You Won't Recognise In Upcoming Movies
2. Jay Hernandez - El Diablo (Suicide Squad)
El Diablo, one of Suicide Squad's lesser known villains, will be played by an actor named Jay Hernandez. "Jay Hernandez?" you ask. "Who is the heck is that?" Hernandez won't be familiar to everyone, but is probably best known to movie fandom at large as the main character in Eli Roth's gruesome horror flick Hostel. In that film, he played a backpacker named Paxton who found himself unexpectedly kidnapped by a mysterious organisation who planned to sell him to rich clients as a body for torture. Scary stuff. What's even scarier, though, is El Diablo's face - looking at him, you'd likely never guess that it was the kid from Hostel behind the make-up. Not to mention that Hernandez shaved his entire head to play the role of this mysterious character, which means he looks even less like the actor we know. On that basis, it seems safe to assume that most people will end up sitting through the whole of Suicide Squid without realising who this guy is.
