Paco Pedro

Paco Pedro is a fictitious bullfighter created by actor/model/broadcaster/journalist Mark Wilson Smith. The character is regarded as the world's greatest bullfighter, but he has also worked as a gigolo. Paco Pedro's two greatest loves are bullfighting and women, which often lead him to being involved in dangerous situations- caused more by the latter than the former!;
History
Although the character was created in 2008, it wasn't until 2013 that Paco made his screen debut in the film. Paco Pedro: Bullfighter & Gigolo; Paco Pedro was originally played by Brazilian actor/model Rodrigo Ternevoy and later by Alex De Luca.
In response to public demand fueled by the first film, creator Mark Wilson Smith decided to make a trilogy of films. Future plans include using the three scripts to make a Paco Pedro novel, with a video game and comic book also being mooted.

Characteristics and skills
Paco is definitely a lovable rogue- he always ends up in trouble, but it's usually through no fault of his own. He can certainly be described as charismatic, and frequently uses his charm to seduce ladies, although often it is the ladies who approach him first. Knowing that he is the best matador in the world, Paco does displays arrogance when it comes to his status and career. He is also a typical Latin male with a hot blooded temperament, and like so many other heroes, he has a fondness for alcohol.
Character motifs
The character's visual motif is typically a black costume with hat, orange and red waitcoat, and dark purple waitsash. He has used a pistol, rifle, sword, wooden spoon, apple, sangria, and even his hat as a weapon in the stories.
Fictional character biography
Born in Spain, Paco rose to fame as the world's greatest bullfighter. His love of women led to him losing his prized job, as he unwittingly slept with the bullfighting commissioner's wife. Out of work Paco turned to drink, but was still popular with the ladies. This prompted his manager, Austin Bohmont, to convince him to work as a gigolo. While on a date with a female client, Paco learns of a run-away bull causing havoc in the middle of town. He instinctively brings the bull's rampage to a halt and in doing so saves the life of a trapped man. The saved man turns out to be the bullfighting commissioner who allows Paco to return to his job as a reward for saving his life.
Months later, Paco and Austin are contacted by the commissioner about an exciting new plan. A Mexican businessman, Don Burrito, wants to establish bullfighting in Ireland, and the commissioner feels it would help raise publicity if Paco performed in the opening show. In truth it is all a lie, the commissioner and Don Burrito want to smuggle drugs into Ireland with Paco being the unwitting carrier. This is done by putting drugs 'inside' a real monkey. Paco and Austin duly take the drug filled monkey, believed to be a gift for Don Burrito, on-board a ship set for Dublin. During the journey Paco has a romantic encounter with a famous actress. When leaving the boat the monkey farts and sprays drugs all over Austin. A local police man sees this and arrests Austin on the spot, while Austin urges Paco to flee the crime scene, fearing it would be bad publicity for the star bullfighter to be involved in a drug scandal. Upon learning of the drug smuggling trick, Paco dispatches with two of Don Burrito's men sent to retrieve the drug-monkey. He then helps Austin and the monkey escape from jail. Angry that his plan to smuggle drugs into Ireland has failed, Don Burrito confronts Paco Pedro in a dramatic sword fight. Defeating Don Burrito, Paco is later thanked and rewarded by the Irish President.
Wishing to enjoy his wealth and to go out at the top, Paco decides to retire from bullfighting. It isn't long before his former manager Austin comes calling with a big money offer for one last job on foreign shores...
