Rubén Blades is a Panamanian actor who portrayed Daniel Salazar in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead.

Biography[]

Rubén Blades was born in Panama City, Panama, the son of Cuban musician and actress Anoland Díaz, and Colombian Rubén Darío Blades, Sr., a gifted athlete, percussionist and later a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in Washington, D.C.

Trivia[]

  • He ran for President of Panama as founder and head of the Papa Egoro party in 1994. He came in third behind the two leading Panamanian parties. However, he won a respectable 18% of the vote. His party gained enough seats in the Panamanian Legislature to ensure its continuance and a place in national politics, until it was dissolved in 1999.
  • He won his first Grammy for the album, "Encenas", and has won 4 more in Latin categories, a Latin Grammy, and one in World Music for the album "Mundo".
  • He was Minister of Tourism in Panama from 2004 until 2009.
  • In Predator 2 (1990), he played a character with the last name Archuleta who is killed and in Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003), his character avenges the death of a partner with the last name Archuleta.
