Olympusat's Tele N and Ultra Clásico networks in the US will feature a posthumous tribute to Rogelio Guerra (1936 -2018), one of Mexico's most versatile and respected actors.

The homage to Guerra comprises three of the actor's most iconic and critically-acclaimed classic films directed by the late Arturo Martinez: Una Rosa Sobre el Ring (1973), Leyendas Macabras de la Colonia (1974) and La Corona de Un Campeón (1974).

"Undoubtedly, Rogelio Guerra was an outstanding interpreter. His work in TV, film and theatre gained him international recognition along with multiple accolades across all Latin America," said Jesús Piñango, director of TV Content Strategy at Olympusat.

In addition to a well-renowned career as a film and telenovela lead star, Guerra found great success in theatre, starring in over 80 plays. The multi-faceted actor worked as a voice-over actor, lending his voice as King Théoden in the Spanish-language dubbed version of The Lord of the Ring: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Ring: The Return of the King.
