Career

Most of his portrayals include tough, violent cops or vigilantes, and cruel, ruthless criminals or drug lords. He is one of the most well-known faces in the genre, along with Mario and Fernando Almada, even though he doesn't enjoy their relative fame. The IMDb lists him appearing in over a hundred and fifty films. After being absent from the industry since his last film in 2005, he was most recently seen in the 2007 Mexican TV show 'El Pantera'. He has also appeared in some minor soft porn movies. [ [http://www.revistacinefagia.com/erogena039.htm Cinefagia: Zona erógena] ]

Despite his extensive film career, he is one of the most elusive actors in the genre; there's almost no information on him on the Internet and printed media. During an interview in January, 2007 he expressed his interest in contending for the Mayor office of his native town of Parácuaro, Michoacán, under the left-wing Party of the Democratic Revolution, of which he is an active member.
