"Angel Salazar is not your typical comedian," his bio for that documentary reads . "His Cuban/Puerto Rican heritage and penchant for sporting mini-skirts notwithstanding, this manic, human laugh factory is rather difficult to describe. Salazar's performance is a mixture of street-smart ethnic wisecracks, risqué humor, physical comedy and audience involvement."

Tito Puente Jr., a bandleader, offered a brief tribute on X .

"You were an amazing actor and good friend hermano," he wrote. "From Scarface to Carlito's Way , your characters and comedy will be forever missed."
