Which actor plays Tomas, the elderly relative, in the 2006 film Quinceañera?

Chalo González plays Tomas, the elderly relative, in the 2006 film Quinceañera.

Tomas is Magdalena and Carlos’s great-great-uncle. When both young people face rejection from their immediate families, his home becomes a refuge. His role gives the film an intergenerational perspective: he represents family history and practical compassion while the younger characters navigate pregnancy, sexuality, and expectations surrounding the quinceañera.

The part is supporting rather than central in most cast listings, but Tomas is structurally important to the story. Without his household, Magdalena and Carlos would have fewer options after being pushed away by relatives.

Chalo González is sometimes left out of short descriptions that mention only Emily Rios and Jesse Garcia. The answer is the actor’s credited name, not the character’s relationship to Magdalena or Carlos.
