"Dallas" just struck oil with the casting of a Latin heartthrob who's sure to get both oil and blood bubblin' when Season 2 debuts on TNT in late January.

Mexican film star Kuno Becker, 34, has been signed to play Andres, the troubled brother of Elena (Jordana Brewster).



As a boy, Andres ("Drew" to friends and family) witnessed his papa's death, which turned him into an angry juvenile delinquent. He ended up enlisting in the military, and after a tour in Iraq straightened him up, found work on oil rigs all over the globe.

He's sure to provoke the wrath of Bobby, J.R. and all the Ewings when he returns to Southfork to continue drilling where his father left off.

"Dallas" fans will soon have to say goodbye to Larry Hagman's J.R. — but they'll meet new members of the Ewing and Ramos clans.

Kuno Becker will stir up trouble as Elena's brother, Andres (nickname: Drew), who was raised on Southfork with John Ross and Christopher and moves into his sister's cottage.

"He comes back from Afghanistan with a lot of anger and wants to drill his late father's land," says Becker, who played a serial killer on "CSI: Miami's" final season.



Drew will go to extreme measures to get what he wants.

"I've had to do a lot of training with firearms, and I get to shoot in a big action scene, but I can't reveal at what or who."

I don't recall any other children being brought up on the ranch with John Ross and Christopher. And isn't J.R. dead now?
