Benjamin Bratt plays Roberto Alacaino, a high-ranking member of Pablo Escobar’s drug cartel, in “The Infiltrator,” but to hear the actor tell it, the character is someone to be admired.

“He uses a kind of twisted logic to rationalize what he does for a living,” Bratt told TheWrap in a recent interview.”[But] that aside, he’s in possession of qualities that all of us seek to have for ourselves.”

Bratt explained that his character doesn’t see his career as something inherently evil, he’s simply meeting the demand of consumers. And other than his occupation, Bratt says there’s a lot to admire in someone like Alcaino.
