R.I.P. He was actually really good as Vadinho.
He was also in Werner Herzog’s ‘Fitzcarraldo’, one of the most insane films ever made. People almost died during production and Klaus Kinski and Werner almost killed each other over “differences”.
R.I.P. to the *real* hero of the film.
That he was. A very likeable character in a surprisingly likeable movie. R.I.P
He was quite good as the real hero of Pumaman. R.I.P.
RIP to one of my favorite MST movie actors.
RIP Big Man.
Oh no! Not the Aztec Guy.
RIP, Miguel. You were one of my favorite characters in all of MST3K, alongside Torgo and Rowsdower.
