Abel Woolrich (1947–2006) was a Mexican character actor.
Acting career
His career spanned over thirty years of Mexican cinema, including films such as Mujeres salvajes and El callejón de los milagros; in addition, he had small parts in a few Hollywood movies such as Solo, The Mask of Zorro, Apocalypto, Ravenous and My Family.
Apocalypto and death
Woolrich had one scene in Mel Gibson's 2006 Mayan language film Apocalypto, but he died before the movie was released; as a result the movie is dedicated "In Remembrance of Abel."
