Viewers of the USA Network crime drama are still heartbroken the series has come to an end. Despite this, star character Dumas (played by Alimi Ballard) is still shocking fans in true Queen of the South fashion.
In the series, Marcel Dumas was the Creole leader of a New Orleans street gang and owner of a Jazz club.
He became close allies with Mexico’s queen Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga) in season four as she moved to the city to expand her drug business.
After Boaz Jiminez (Joseph T Campos) made the reckless decision to murder corrupt Judge Cecil Lafayette (David Andrews), Teresa was forced to decide on who would take the fall.
She needed Boaz for her operation and had no other choice but to make Dumas take the blame, despite being one of her closest allies on the streets of New Orleans.
Dumas was furious and despite Teresa’s attempts to make amends and help him escape, he was having none of it.
Throughout the show, the actor sported a bald look with a sharply trimmed beard, however a throwback pic posted on Instagram is what is shocking fans.
In the series of images, he shared a photo from his younger days where he rocked a classic 90s high top and thin moustache.
In the caption, he wrote: “When people ask me how I got started. I waste no time telling them, ‘By learning from one of thee BEST!!!”

Blown away fans took to his comments to express their shock at the drastically different look.
One commented: “Alimi with hair?! Such a great pic to remember your start and see where you are on your journey now!
“That’s you, oh snap!
“It’s the budding evidence of manhood for me: Le Mustachio!”
“Mustache is the only difference”
Whereas other fans were shocked because he looked unrecognisable from his previous roles: “OMG!!! WOW!!! I had no idea he was YOU.
“Whhhhhaaaaattttt you mean that was you, I be damn, I knew you looked familiar
“OMG I can not believe I didn’t realize you were on All My Children!
“Oomaagaah OG as it’s best, this is how I started watching you and yes she is phenomenal queen Frankie and Angie.”
The actor first began his career on-screen in the 1990s and starred on the hit Sabrina the Teenage Witch as Quizmaster.
However, the look he posted on Instagram was during his time as Frankie Hubbard on the daytime soap opera Loving back in 1995.
Aside from Queen of the South, Alimi rocked his more recent bald look on Numb3rs, Fast and Furious, and on a few episodes of NCIS.
