As you eagerly anticipate Manuel Garcia-Rulfo‘s return for season 4 of “The Lincoln Lawyer”, it might be intriguing to explore his horror television series, modeled after a Quentin Tarantino film during the wait. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo kicked off his acting journey in 2006, gracing Spanish-speaking movies and TV shows with brief appearances, such as “La última y nos vamos” (2009) and “El encanto del águila” (2011), before landing his big break in the 2012 movie, “Bless Me, Ultima”. Notably, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s most notable role has been his portrayal of Mickey Haller in the legal drama series, “The Lincoln Lawyer”, which debuted in 2022.
Following the hit book series by Michael Connelly and the success of the 2011 film, The Lincoln Lawyer, stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, a district attorney and former addict who experiences good fortune when he unexpectedly inherits a law firm. Critics have highly commended Garcia-Rulfo’s portrayal of Mickey Haller, with his performance often compared favorably to Matthew McConaughey’s in the movie version. Although The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 was announced in 2025, fans can enjoy another one of Garcia-Rulfo’s earlier performances while awaiting its official release.
From Dusk Till Dawn Was One Of Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s Best TV Shows Before The Lincoln Lawyer
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo Played Narciso Menendez In From Dusk Till Dawn
In 2014, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo became part of the cast of the Miramax horror series “From Dusk Till Dawn,” which was based on the 1996 action film by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Developed by Rodriguez, this TV show extends the “From Dusk Till Dawn” universe, following brothers Seth (played by D.J. Cotrona) and Richie Gecko (Zane Holtz), who are on the run from the FBI after a bank robbery that led to multiple deaths. Fleeing to Mexico, they seek refuge with a drug lord named Don Carlos, but their stay turns perilous when they encounter otherworldly threats.
The TV adaptation of “From Dusk Till Dawn” was generally well-received, earning accolades for its compelling storyline, acting, and faithful continuation of the original series’ narrative. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a rating of 75%. In 2015, it even garnered a Saturn Award nomination for Best Limited Run Television Series. However, Miramax opted to discontinue “From Dusk Till Dawn” after three seasons in 2016, releasing the cast from their contracts.
In the initial two installments of the series “From Dusk Till Dawn,” Manuel Garcia-Rulfo portrayed Narciso Menendez, a henchman to Don Carlos. This character is eventually unveiled as a brutal vampire. Throughout his tenure on the show, Menendez functioned as the right-hand man of the Nine Lords and frequently butted heads with Carlos regarding his dealings with the Gecko brothers. Despite being present only in the first two seasons, Garcia-Rulfo’s portrayal of Narciso Menendez garnered widespread acclaim, and “From Dusk Till Dawn” is often recognized as one of his standout performances prior to “The Lincoln Lawyer.
Narciso Menendez Is A Completely Different Role From The Lincoln Lawyer’s Mickey Haller
Both Roles Highlight Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s Range As An Actor
In the world of cinema, I found myself immersed in two distinct roles played by Garcia-Rulfo – one being Seth Gecko from ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’, and the other, Mickey Haller in ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’. While both performances earned him accolades, the character of Mickey Haller felt like a world apart. In ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’, Garcia-Rulfo breathed life into the character of Mickey Haller, a charming and steadfast district attorney. He portrayed a man who tirelessly fought for his clients’ rights, facing obstacles head-on. Interestingly, this portrayal was inspired by real individuals, and throughout the series, we see Mickey Haller grapple with the complexities of juggling his professional and personal life. This struggle to maintain equilibrium makes him a character that viewers can easily relate to.
Instead, Garcia-Rulfo plays Narciso Menendez in From Dusk Till Dawn as a cruel and scheming vampire who pays no mind to anything other than tormenting unsuspecting humans and sating his thirst for their blood. In the second season, Narciso’s lack of faith in Don Carlos and his hunger for power ultimately lead to his demise when Carlos deceives and beheads him. Garcia-Rulfo’s portrayal of both Narciso Menendez and Mickey Haller highlights his versatility as an actor and makes From Dusk Till Dawn a captivating series to watch until the release of season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer.
