Kamar de los Reyes

De los Reyes starred as a Chicano boxer named Pedro 'Roadman' Quinn, in 1994's acclaimed theatrical production of Blade to the Heat.^[1]

The most arresting figure, however, is Mr. de los Reyes. More than any words he utters, the actor's haunted eyes, sunken cheeks and shaved head convey the extent of Pedro's torment. In repose, he's almost spectral. In the ring, he's like a short circuit, and his silent scream of triumph is a guaranteed spine-tingler.

De los Reyes appeared alongside Patrick Stewart as a "dashing, if thick-tongued" Ferdinand in a 1995 production of William Shakespeare's The Tempest.^[2] In 1997, de los Reyes was named on People Magazine's "Fabulous 50" list.^[3] In 2001, he starred in a television film, The Way She Moves, starring Annabeth Gish and fellow soap opera star Daniel Cosgrove. He also starred in the controversial film Love and Suicide and in Toni Braxton's video for her song "Spanish Guitar". He made numerous guest appearances on shows such as Law & Order and CSI: Miami. In 1995, de los Reyes starred with James Woods, Ed Harris and Sir Anthony Hopkins in Oliver Stone's controversial biopic, Nixon, playing convicted Watergate burglar, Eugenio Martínez.^{[citation needed]}

In 2012, he voiced Raul Menendez, the main antagonist of the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II. He also provided the motion capture for the character.^[4]

In 2013, he played the role of Los Lordes gang leader, Santana in the two-part season finale of the third season of the CBS police procedural drama Blue Bloods.^{[citation needed]}

In 2022, he joined the cast of CW's All American, in the role of Coach Montes.^[5]

In 2025, he made his posthumous Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut in Daredevil: Born Again as Hector Ayala / White Tiger.

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico to Cuban percussionist Walfredo de los Reyes and a Puerto Rican mother, Matilde Pages, Kamar de los Reyes grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the brother of the percussionist of the band Chicago, Walfredo Reyes Jr., and to former Yanni, and now Zac Brown Band percussionist, Daniel de los Reyes. He married actress Sherri Saum in 2007 and they had twin boys in 2014.^[6][7] He had a son from a previous relationship.^[8]

De los Reyes died from cancer in Los Angeles, on December 24, 2023, at the age of 56.^[9] Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was dedicated to his memory alongside that of Tony Todd. The second and third episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, in which he plays Hector Ayala / White Tiger, were also dedicated to him. The second episode of Washington Black was dedicated to him as well, his only appearance in the show. The tenth episode of the sixth season of All American was also dedicated to him.
