Fan Casting Antonio in James McTeigue's Cowboy Bebop

The de facto leader of three old miners playing poker in the Tijuana asteroid saloon, Antonio is weathered, dignified, and tired of the Syndicate’s wars. He delivers the exposition about rising oil prices and the coming apocalypse with the flat affect of a man who has seen it all before. When Faye hustles them at cards, Antonio stares at her winning hand in disbelief—not angry, just resigned. He has been losing for years. A pretty woman cheating him is just Tuesday.
