After battling illness, 56-year-old Puerto Rican actor Kamar de los Reyes, best known for playing Antonio Vega on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live, passed away.
According to the actor’s representative, he passed away in Los Angeles on Saturday night following a brief illness. It’s unclear what kind of cancer he was battling or when he received the diagnosis, but it seems like it was kept under wraps.
Although de los Reyes is most known for his 287-episode role as Antonio Vega on “One Life to Live,” video game enthusiasts will also likely recognize him from his voice work as the villain Raul Menendez in the “Call of Duty” series.
He voiced Menendez, a main and recurring character for a total of 4 ‘COD’ installments, including the famed ‘Black Ops II,’ where he debuted as the big bad for years to come.
de los Reyes had an impressive résumé outside of that as well. In addition to his work on ‘OLTL’ and ‘COD’, he also memorably starred in shows like “Sleepy Hollow,” “All American,” “The Rookie,” “Reed Between the Lines, “Promised Land,” “Four Corners,” “Valley of the Dolls,” “ER” as well as guest starring on “Law & Order,” “CSI,” “The Mentalist” and more.
He had also been in a handful of films like “Nixon,” “In Search of a Dream,” “The Cell,” “Cayo,” “Salt,” “LA Apocalypse,” “Amelia 2.0,” “Hot Guys with Guns” as well as others.
de los Reyes is survived by his wife, Sherri Saum and their children.
