83.
He was actually sacked and cut out of the film ‘died in a parachute jump offscreen’Ha I remember the song but not so much Trini. RIP signor. He was one of the Dirty Dozen actors I see. He played a character called Pedro Jiminez.

He still appeared in the film though didn’t he? I read that The script changed and his character was killed off. The death was off camera. I’ll have to watch the film to get the right answer. ECardiff, from the BBC obituary:
“In 1966, Lopez was cast in The Dirty Dozen, a film about rogue soldiers being sent on a suicide mission during World War Two.
But he clashed with director Robert Aldrich and was written out of the film. His character, Pedro Jiminez, dies off-screen after a parachute jump.“
He was definitely in the film Ingleby. Just watched a few minutes of it and in an early scene he is shot at whilst in training manoeuvres on a rope.He was actually sacked and cut out of the film ‘died in a parachute jump offscreen’
