Córdova was last seen opposite Liev Schreiber on Season 4 of Showtime's Ray Donovan as well as in Ang Lee's Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. Córdova is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts Experimental Theatre Wing. He is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content, and Peikoff Mahan.
Berlin Station was created and is executive produced by Olen Steinhauer (author: The Tourist, All The Old Knives, The Cairo Affair).
