Netflix Movies Starring Luis Contreras

Character actor Luis Contreras was born on September 18, 1950. He was the son of actor Roberto Contreras. Lean, wiry and intense, with a scruffy mass of unruly curly hair, piercing dark eyes, a plain, rough face, a greasy mustache and a swarthy complexion, Contreras often portrayed bums, seedy gang members, police officers, prison inmates and assorted nasty criminals. Contreras made his film debut as a Federale in Steven Spielberg's wonderful science fiction classic "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." He also popped up as a zoot suiter in Spielberg's hilarious all-star comedy "1941." Contreras frequently acted in movies for director Walter Hill: "The Long Riders," "48 HRS.," "Extreme Prejudice," "Red Heat," "Geronimo: An American Legend," and "Last Man Standing." Contreras was especially memorable as a grocery store security guard in the terrific sci-fi black comedy cult gem "Repo Man," the vicious ringleader of a gang of cocaine cowboys in "Stand Alone," a hostile eye-patched biker in the delightfully madcap "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," and a deranged homeless man who terrorizes a trio of teenage girls in the "A Night on the Town" episode of the hugely enjoyable horror anthology "After Midnight.
