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]
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."
