Bravo’s Cover Is At Risk This Week on Matador!

Gabriel Luna as Tony Bravo and Nicky Whelan as Annie Mason from the El Rey Network original series MATADOR episode 109

One of the most entertaining shows of the summer, Matador is a fast-paced spy series centered on Tony Bravo, a up & coming star in pro soccer – who happens to be an undercover agent for the CIA. The series features smart, fast-paced action, global conspiracies, heart-warming family moments and even a bit of soccer.
