Manuel Ojeda, a well-known Mexican actor, died last week at the age of 81. The National Association of Actors’ official Twitter account shared the news. No one knows what caused his death.

“The National Association of Actors is very sad about the death of Manuel Salvador Ojeda, who was a member of our union. His name was Manuel Ojeda. We are sorry for his family, friends, and coworkers. Rest in peace.”

In the movie Romancing the Stone, Manuel Ojeda

In the action-adventure movie Romancing the Stone, which came out in 1984, Manuel Ojeda played the bad guy Colonel Zolo.

Zolo was the person who killed Elaine’s husband. He went to New York and killed a janitor while looking for a map that had been sent to Joan Wilder. The Colonel tried to steal the map from Wilder and got a ride from Ralph, who looked like Zolo until the Colonel made him think he was French.

Ralph takes Zolo to his base, where Zolo gets his military cops to look for the heroes and the stone. Near the end, Wilder meets Ralph and Ira, but Zolo gets in the way. Zolo has also taken Jack.

Zolo takes Wilder to a pool of crocodiles and threatens her so that she will give him the stone. When Jack kicks the emerald to Zolo, a crocodile eats both Zolo’s hand and the emerald.

Zolo and Ira’s groups start shooting at each other, and Zolo runs after Wikilled and Elaine. Zolo pushes Wilder into a pit of crocodiles while she is trying to kill him.

Born on November 4, 1940, Ojeda was known as the actor who worked the most on TV and in movies in Mexico.

The movie Romancing the Stone from 1984 brought him a lot of attention. Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito play the main roles in the movie, which was directed by Robert Zemeckis. It got good reviews from critics, made $115 million at the box office, and was followed by The Jewel of the Nile, which was a sequel.

Ojeda was born and raised in La Paz, Baja California Sur, and went to the Instituto de Bellas Artes to study art. When he was in his mid-30s, he did his first play and got his first part in a movie.

He was in a lot of Televisa telenovelas for a long time. In 1983, Ojeda became well-known for his roles in the movie P.D. Tu gato ha muerto and the movie version of the book P.S. Your Cat Is Dead. Then, from 2005 to 2006, he was in the TV show Alborada.

For now, we don’t know much about his work history or where he went to school.
