While early word on Too Old To Die Young is somewhat mixed, with criticism aimed the show’s high level of violence, Refn has always been somewhat polarizing as a filmmaker - which is something he seems to court. Outside of Drive most of his work like The Neon Demon is aimed at a more niche audience. He’s also turned down opportunities for bigger projects like A Good Day To Die Hard and Spectre to focus on the material that interests him.
Little has been revealed about Callie Hernandez part on the show, but she’s an actress who might be familiar to genre fans. Hernandez launched her career working with Robert Rodrigeuz on a number of projects, making her film debut in 2013’s Machete Kills, which was followed by an uncredited role in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For and a guest role in From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series in 2014.

She also played a major role in 2017’s acclaimed low-budget horror The Endless from directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, as a member of a cult that worships a mysterious, Lovecraftian creature.
Hernandez spent two seasons on the political drama Graves, starring screen legend Nick Nolte as a former President trying to right the wrongs caused by his policies. Callie Hernandez also played Millicent Sevence in noir thriller Under The Silver Lake, alongside Andrew Garfield and Topher Grace.
