Scarface fans are upset by the news that one of the film’s co-stars, Angel Salazar, apparently died over the weekend in Brooklyn.
Salazar was 68 years old.
Salazar was sleeping at a friend’s house, and when the friend went to wake him up in the morning, they discovered his body in the bed, according to his representative and closest friend, Ann Wingsong.
Salazar is well known for his portrayal as “Chi Chi”, the quiet, trustworthy member of Scarface’s crew in the Brian De Palma-directed film, and was most recognizable in the gory hotel scene on Miami Beach when Tony Montana called to his companion, “Chi Chi, get the yayo..”

Salazar’s fans, family, and friends deserve our heartfelt condolences.
