Pedro Pascal will be packing heat soon…

The Latino actor has landed a gun-toting role in NBC‘s pilot The Sixth Gun.

Produced by Carlton Cuse, the supernatural Western – which is based on the comic book of the same name – centers on six mythical guns, each with its own otherworldly powers. When the Sixth Gun, the most powerful and dangerous of the bunch, resurfaces in the hands of an innocent farmer’s daughter named Becky Montcrief (Laura Ramsey), dark forces reawaken.

Pascal will portray Special Agent Ortega, one of the two detectives who follow Mercer’s (Aldis Hodge) lead.

Pascal, who is currently appearing in a recurring role on ABC’s just-launched Red Widow series and USA’s Graceland, has previously appeared on CBS’ The Good Wife, Nikita and Body of Proof.
