Édgar Filiberto Ramírez Arellano (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈeðɣaɾ raˈmiɾes], born 25 March 1977) is a Venezuelan actor. After studying communications at the Andrés Bello Catholic University, Ramírez worked in media and considered becoming a diplomat. When filmmaker Guillermo Arriaga praised a short film he had done, he decided to pursue his performing hobby as a career. Ramírez played a CIA assassin in the action-thriller film The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). His portrayal of Carlos the Jackal in the 2010 biopic television miniseries Carlos won him the César Award for Most Promising Actor and nominations for a Golden Globe and Emmy Award for Best Actor. He then played a CIA operative in Zero Dark Thirty (2012), and boxer Roberto Durán in the biographical sports film Hands of Stone (2016). Ramírez received several accolades for his portrayal of Gianni Versace in the 2018 miniseries The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. In 2020, he had a recurring role in the HBO miniseries The Undoing. In 2022, Ramírez was part of the Un Certain Regard jury at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film follows flamboyant producer Mario Kassar (Oscar Isaac) and his pragmatic partner Andrew Vajna (Adrien Brody), two outsiders who gamble everything on First Blood and launch Rambo into cultural legend. As Carolco’s star rises, they attract megastars and visionaries: Sylvester Stallone (Sebastian Stan), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Alexander Skarsgård), Sharon Stone (Florence Pugh), and James Cameron (Jake Gyllenhaal), who delivers the most expensive film ever made, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Directors like Paul Verhoeven (Rami Malek) and Adrian Lyne (Ralph Fiennes) push boundaries with provocative thrillers, while action icons like Jean-Claude Van Damme (Édgar Ramírez) and Dolph Lundgren (Alexander Ludwig) turn Cannes into a circus. But ambition spirals into excess. Carolco stakes everything on the lavish pirate epic Cutthroat Island, helmed by Renny Harlin (Joel Kinnaman) and starring Geena Davis (Jessica Chastain) and Matthew Modine (Austin Butler). What begins as a dream project descends into chaos, exploding budgets, and career-shattering fallout. As Hollywood looks on, Carolco becomes both a cautionary tale and a legend — a reminder that the brightest flames burn out the fastest.
