Lucky Blue Smith as Luciano de la Cruz, son of Ernesto de la Cruz
Ernesto de la Cruz comes down as a villain in Coco because of his passion to want to succeed. He was known for his good looks and his charm and a lot of Mexicans looked up to him. Dead and alive he was sort of a god in their realm and everyone loved him. Ernesto got famous off a song that his best friend Héctor wrote and killed him to steal the song because Héctor wanted to leave the business. He wasn't going to let anyone get in the way of him achieving fame. All the songs that Héctor ever wrote, Ernesto took as his own and each became super popular and turned into a Mexican idol.
He unfortunately died in a freak accident during one of his concerts yet his death was probably the best thing to happen to him. He was still rich and famous in the Land of the Dead and he was forever mourned in the Living Realm. There was no chance that anyone would forget about one of the great musicians ever known.
Well that is before that foul Miguel ruined everything.
When you first look at Ernesto he presents himself as a charming, suave, wise, and sensible individual but deep down is really just selfish, vain, and fame-hungry. He was not going to let his legacy go to waste.
In this photo, I am his son and seeing how in the Descendants movies the characters that ultimately died in their original movies are however not of the case that's the approach I took here. My father isn't dead and there are still some people that hold his legacy dear because even if he didn't write those songs he did make it famous. Being the son of one of the most wealthiest people on the Isle (the place where the Villain Kids live) I obviously take advantage of that wealth. With wealth comes a lot of things and some of those things include women.
In this photo you would see the same qualities that my father posses someone that instantly you fall in love with. You want to be friends with, get with, be around. In reality however, I'm just using my charismatic skills (my secret power if you will) to get what I want. I may not be the most powerful of the VK's but amongst them my charisma is unmatchable. I'm daring, compassionate, and a huge flirt, I mean I am a de la Cruz. I get what I want.
