Abel Woolrich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 and nephew of Malkah Rabell.[1]
Apocalypto and death
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.
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."
