Not Pacino, the other fella |
He's been Reno Nevada in Buckaroo Banzai. He's been sliced up in a South Beach apartment by nasty Columbians. He got imprisoned during a Russian raid on a small Colorado town and helped out by Hannibal Smith and Howling Mad Murdock. Been defended by an OAP lawyer and played cop alongside Clint Eastwood. Crockett and Tubbs have gunned him down and Cagney and Lacey have locked him up. He's annoyed The Jerk and had his head kicked off by Chuck Norris. His face has popped up in 70's movies both cult and masterpiece and he's still popping up in mainstream releases today. The very definition of a "I know him!!" actor. 156 credits over almost half a century. Everything from western to horror to comedy to sci-fi. Not bad going at all Pepe. Check out his career here.
Buckaroo Banzai. 80's insanity. Track it down. It's worth the effort. |
Greatest hits
Scarface - Angel Fernandez. Buddy of Tony Montana and recipient of a close encounter with a chainsaw in a scene that made the film notorious back in the early 80's.
Red Dawn - Mr Aardvark. One of the many unfortunates of Calumet, Colorado. His words are the ones that turn a group of footballers into a well oiled guerilla machine.
American Me - Mundo. One of the founding members of the Mexican Mafia. A vicious little individual. Very handy with a shiv,
Downsizing - Señor Cárdenas. An interesting little face in a very intriguing little film.
