Emilio Echevarría is a Mexican actor. Internationally he is perhaps most well known for appearing in a trio of films: Amores Perros (as the hitman and ex-guerrilla nicknamed "El Chivo" (The Goat)), Y tu mamá también, and Babel (all of which co-starred Gael García Bernal).
Echevarría also had small parts in two American productions, first as Raoul, a Cuban agent in the James Bond film Die Another Day and then as Antonio López de Santa Anna in The Alamo.
Most recently he has appeared in El Búfalo de la Noche along with Tambien co-star Diego Luna, written by Perros author Guillermo Arriaga.
He began his acting career in 1978 as a member for the Constitution of Art and Society. Echevarría is the father of Lourdes Echevarría who appeared alongside him as Maru, his character's daughter, in Amores Perros.
