"Rivera's character hasn't been officially named in the show yet, but according to the closing credits, he's playing Cortez, a hitman. We met Cortez in last week's "Coming 'Round the Mountain," when he took shots at Bunny's caravan and was chased down by the KPD. At the time, I wondered if he might be working with the newcomer Frank Moses, who had only appeared in one scene and hadn't made any intentions known."
"None of our regular Kingstowners is safe. This is not to say, by the way, that Cortez is definitively not working for Frank. We get multiple scenes with Mr. Moses this week, and while he very earnestly explains his Kingstown plans, he remains a bit of a mystery. He's a fascinating mystery, though, thanks to how commanding Lennie James is, in every minute he's on-screen."
Derek Rivera portrays an unnamed hitman credited as Cortez who fired on Bunny's caravan and escaped KPD pursuit. Cortez refuses to speak to police, is allied with Colombian interests, and operates with a cold, determined agenda that threatens Kingstown residents. Frank Moses is a Detroit mob figure who maintains legitimate business cover, keeps distance from his crew's violence, and has existing friendly ties with Bunny's team. Bunny and Mayor Mike McLusky have expelled Russian and Aryan elements, making Kingstown attractive to outside criminal players. Lennie James gives a commanding presence that deepens Frank Moses' enigmatic role.
