In 2010, he played bloodthirsty Colombian prisoner/fighter Raul "Dolor" Quinones in the film Undisputed III: Redemption, which was his first American film and the first time he spoke English in a film (he was previously only a stunt man).[1] In Machete Kills (2013), he played an associate of main villain Luther Voz (Mel Gibson), with "Zaror" being his character's name; and was seen as a mixed martial arts competition finalist in the Bollywood movie Sultan.
