He is known as a very versatile, strong actor, who can play a wide range of characters, in drama and comedy. A veteran actor, of over 3 decades, his latest work in True Blood, as brujo (shaman), Don Bartolo, is proof positive, that Del Zamora, still does top shelf work, well into his early 50's. Del Zamora a true character actor, who has worked with some of the biggest stars in the World. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Daniel Rojo.  The screening of The Last Brown Beret starts at 5pm - The Last Brown Beret "is the story of four Ex-Brown Berets, who gather for the funeral of a fifth Brown Beret. Their story is at once comical, striking and poignant but most of all very Chicano.  Though mellowed with the wisdom of time, the spirit of their activism remains alive.  At story's end, these four characters may make you laugh and cry but ultimately they will challenge you to learn more about the Brown Berets and their legacy."
