    He has played “Hector” in a number of different films and TV roles, so I don’t know why this was faked.

      People post jokes, and then someone else shares it thinking it’s real. At least that’s what I think happens most of the time when faked stuff is presented as real

    His work in Breaking Bad was stellar. I didn’t recognize him as Hector Salamanca. Such good actor he is.

        Same, but I was afraid to voice it in case I was wrong and opening myself up to some accusations 😅

          Well this just might be worse than saying nothing at all. What did you do?

            I mean, if you mistake a person of a different race from you as someone else of that race, there’s always going to be some eye narrowing.

              I wasn’t thinking this at all and I don’t think anyone else would have had you not preemptively pointed it out

                Eh, I try to own my own insecurities. I haven’t seen the movie in ages so I was mostly going off of hairstyle and gang leader status over his face anyhow.

    Sooooo many of these Hectors are correct, but some of them are not.

    That guy is Noel Gugliemi, and he played “Gang Leader” on The Animal, not Hector.

    Price of Glory had a Hector, but that was played by Sal Lopez! Totally different looking dude!

    He was a lot of Hectors but not quite that many.

    Is there a term for this? When an actor is playing someone who is essentially the same character no matter what movie it is in (even in different thematical universes)?

          John Wayne played so many characters named “John” or “Duke.” So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles where his character had at least one of those 2 names.

          EDIT: Final tally:

          36 - “John” or “Johnny”

          3 - “J” first initial, no full name given

          5 - “Duke”

              Considering how many military roles he had, I’m going with Lt. Col. J.B. “Johnny the Duke” Thomas

          I would argue that “a Hector” is a recognizable Hispanic trope in a similar fashion to how “a Karen” is an American one.

      “type cast” is the casual phrase

      in technical acting terms it’s usually referred to as “playing close to self”

        What? That would be like saying Chris Hemsworth got “Thor’d” because that’s all he played in the MCU.

        Belzer played way more than just Munch.

    Don’t forget that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry’s and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
