according Imdb, he outlived his son, namesake, by two years? is that true?
ReplyDeleteThe Ulloa's are difficult to figure out because of them being Sr. and Jr. As far as I can find out Sr. was still in his teens when Jr. was born so there is a good chance he could have outlived his son. What is very difficult to determine are their credits as often they are confused with each other.
