Film Icons: Subas Herrero

Subas Herrero is Philippine Cinema's go-to guy for such roles as affluent Spanish friars, hacienderos, congressmen, governors, and other political heavyweights (pun intended). But it was his role as President Alcazar in 1990's Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection that cemented his legacy, by bringing hundreds of Filipino actors within one degree from the great Chuck Norris.
He could've made it in Hollywood with a good agent. |
Ricardo Wright Herrero. 3 April 1943 - 14 March 2013.
