He is known for playing Pancho in Orson Welles's *Touch of Evil* (1958), a Calvera henchman in *The Magnificent Seven* (1960), and Luis Francisco Garcia Lopez in *Hatari!* (1962). Other credits include *To Live and Die in L.A.* (1985) as Judge Filo Cedillo and guest roles in series such as *Mission: Impossible*, *Airwolf*, *Kung Fu* and *Hill Street Blues*.
