Horacio Gómez Bolaños (28 June 1930 â€" 21 November 1999) was a
Mexican actor and brother of Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito). On
the TV show El Chavo, he played the character GodÃnez. Although
Horacio appeared in many of his brother's productions, he preferred to
handle the business aspects. He died on 21 November 1999 of a heart
attack during the production of a tribute to Chespirito for
Televisa.Gómez Bolaños did not consider an acting career when he was
young. Instead, he went to university to study business and graduated
with a degree in business administration.When Chespirito started
production of El Chavo del Ocho and El ChapulÃn Colorado in Televisa
during 1970, he needed an experienced sales team to look over the
marketing side of the productions. Chespirito hired his brother, who
was to see, among other things, the sales of products related to his
shows, such as toys, clothes and other show related items.Chespirito
saw something else in his brother, however, and soon, he convinced
Horacio to try it out as an actor. As a result, Horacio Gómez
Bolaños got the character "GodÃnez" on El Chavo del Ocho. Horacio
Gómez Bolaños appeared less frequently than his co-stars on both of
Chespirito's shows. Nevertheless, he also attained wide fame
internationally when the show became a favorite among millions of
Latin American children, as well as in Spain, the United States and
other countries.
