COSTER, AL

(René Cardona Chávez)

   as "René Cardona III," began appearing as a young boy in bit parts in the late 1960s, mostly in pictures directed by his father and grandfather. For a few years in the early '70s he was elevated to starring roles - as "Al Coster" - in juvenile adventures like El pequeño Robin Hood (Little Robin Hood, 1973), and continued to act from time to time well into the '80s (Terror en los barrios, for instance, 1983). Went to film school in the U.S. and is now a director himself.
