Eloy Casados

Biography

Eloy Casados was an actor who got his start in Colorado Springs, where he won a city competition's best high school actor award as Creon in Antigone and later worked as an extra on The Lawyer when Sidney Furie shot the film there. That job led to full time work as a stand-in and then to directing background extras. He studied art at the University of New Mexico while working on Hollywood productions there, and his first SAG role, opposite Robert Forster in Pieces of Dreams, came from an audition on set. He moved to Hollywood in 1975 and two years later played the title role in Ishi, Dalton Trumbo's final screenplay. He acted in eight Ron Shelton films, including Cobb as singer Louis Prima, and appeared in Born in East L.A. and the BBC's The New World as Squanto. He also worked as a writer, director, editor and camera operator.
