Rest in peace, El Presidente.
in any event, sorry to hear of Mr Armendariz' passing, don't really know much of his other work outside of License to Kill, even then he only featured in the 1989 Bond release briefly, unlike his father who had a much bigger part in From Russia With Love 26 years previous. It's always sad to see anyone connected to the franchise pass on and I take this opportunity to pass on my sympathies to his immediate family at what must be a difficult time. RIP
