You may have seen Pepe Serna's mischievously rugged face in many films and TV shows over the last 50 years.
In Scarface, Serna played Tony Montana's Cuban drug dealer buddy, who met his demise by a rival's chainsaw. In Car Wash, he acted with George Carlin and Richard Pryor. He was Punk #1 in The Jerk with Steve Martin and Edward James Olmos' brother on the run in The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez. Now he's the star of a documentary about his life and career, Pepe Serna: Life is Art.
