Biography

Lalo Ríos (7 February 1927 - 7 March 1973) was a Mexican-born American actor better known by his lead role in The Ring (1952 film), playing to "Tommy".

Biography

Lalo Ríos was born on February 7, 1927 in San Miguelito (Sonora, Mexico). At the age of 9 he moved to East Los Angeles, California, with his family. He graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School.

During Ríos' work as a carpenter he got his first acting role with the Paramount film The Lawless (1950). The film cast Ríos as a young Mexican who faces a racist lynch mob in a small North California town. Since his inclusion in the work, Ríos spanned his acting career for nearly twenty years. In 1952, Ríos was then cast into his most well-known role as "Tommy", in The Ring (1952), in which he played the lead actor and protagonist. Ríos was also known for certain relevance in films such as Big Leaguer (1953), and Touch of Evil (1958). He eventually ended his career in film in 1962, with Lonely Are the Brave (1962).

After ending his career in film, Ríos began to focus solely in television. This was a format with which he was familiar due to his initial inclusion in Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse (in 1958). His casting with the series was short lived, only appearing in two episodes, but assisted him in creating a platform to sell his craft. After 1966, he participated in multiple television series, such as Laredo (1966) and Marcus Welby, M.D. (1968).

Marcus Welby was the last series in which he participated, before he left American television.

Ríos died in Los Angeles in on March 7, 1973.
