From Wikipedia - Reading time: 5 min

Abel Woolrich (/ˈwʊlrɪtʃ/ WUUL-ritch; 1947–2006) was a Mexican character actor. Son of the painter Fanny Rabel, brother of the Mexican actress Paloma Woolrich [es] and nephew of Malkah Rabell [es].[1]

Acting career

[edit]

His career spanned over thirty years of Mexican cinema, including films such as Mujeres salvajes and El callejón de los milagros; in addition, he had small parts in a few Hollywood movies such as Solo, The Mask of Zorro, Apocalypto, Ravenous and My Family.

Apocalypto and death

[edit]

Woolrich had one scene in Mel Gibson's 2006 Mayan language film Apocalypto, but he died before the movie was released; as a result the movie is dedicated "In Remembrance of Abel."
