Dominican actor Gabriel Polanco, born in Santo Domingo, continues to make the reputation of the Dominicans known, now with his second participation in the Netflix film “The Assassin”, filmed in the country and positioned as a gem of excitement and action on the streaming platform.
The film is directed by famed Oscar-nominated director David Fincher, celebrated for his hit films such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fight Club and Seven, as well as the House of Cards series.
