Scarface actor Ángel Salazar dies at the age of 68
The beloved actor Angel Salazar, best known for his role as Chi Chi alongside Al Pacino's Tony Montana in the 1983 classic Scarface, tragically passed away while staying with a friend in Brooklyn, New York. Salazar, who was 67, reportedly died peacefully in his sleep. His friend discovered him unresponsive on Sunday morning, and the news was later confirmed by Salazar’s representative, Ann Wingsong, to TMZ. As of now, the cause of death has not been determined.
In addition to his role in Scarface, Salazar had an extensive filmography, including appearances in Where the Buffalo Roam (1980), A Stranger is Watching (1982), The Wild Life (1984), Sylvester (1985), Punchline (1988), and Carlito’s Way (1993). More recently, he appeared in The Black Caesar (2022) and The Gilbert Diaries: The Movie (2023).
Salazar was also a popular stand-up comedian, well-known for his catchphrase, “Sheck it out,” and had featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. His final comedy performance took place at Reno's Silver Legacy resort and casino from August 1 to 4.
Salazar remained active on social media, recently congratulating gymnast Simone Biles on her achievements at the Paris Olympics. Fans and colleagues alike have taken to social media to pay tribute, with recording artist Tito Puente remembering Salazar as an "amazing actor and good friend." Puente wrote, "Rest in peace Angel Salazar 'Chi Chi,' you were an amazing actor and good friend, hermano. From Scarface to Carlito’s Way, your characters and comedy will be forever missed."
