Angel Salazar, best known for playing Chi Chi to Al Pacino's Tony Montana in Scarface, died Sunday.
An exact cause of death has not yet been named, but a representative said he had an enlarged heart.
In addition to Chi Chi, Salazar portrayed Walberto in Carlito's Way, joining Pacino once again for the 1993 film.
He also starred in Punchline, Where the Buffalo Roam, Last Comic Standing, and The Latin Legends of Comedy.
"Angel Salazar is not your typical comedian," his bio for that documentary reads."His Cuban/Puerto Rican heritage and penchant for sporting mini-skirts notwithstanding, this manic, human laugh factory is rather difficult to describe. Salazar's performance is a mixture of street-smart ethnic wisecracks, risque humor, physical comedy and audience involvement."
Tito Puente Jr., a bandleader, offered a brief tribute on X.
"From Scarface to Carlito's Way, your characters and comedy will be forever missed."
