One huge complaint about The City of Bones movie was the absence of fan favorite, and all together highly important character, the vampire Rafael Santiago. Shadowhunters was not about to make the same mistake, and announced today that actor David Castro is going to play the beloved (snarky) Rafael.
Let’s agree that the casting is very much on point, yes?!
Rafael is not a favorite of mine, though I like him well enough, especially when he’s interacting with Magnus. But I can’t deny that he’s EXTREMELY important for the advancement of the story, not to mention that he’s directed related to the fact that someone’s heart might stop beating… 😀
My Tiny Obsessions 
I didn’t know they casted Rafael! Is it just me or does he look a bit old? But other than that, David looks exactly like a Rafael! 🙂
he’s 19, yes he’s a bit older than book-Rafael, but as they aged everyone, I don’t think it’s a problem. he has a baby face!
YES, ON POINT!
😉 have you watched the video? I kind of hope he has a slight accent on the series 🙂
I haven’t! I will though.
And I hope so too! xoxo
