Rodolfo Hoyos Jr. (March 16, 1916 - April 15, 1983) was a Mexican actor who appeared in American film and television from the mid-1940s to 1982.
From 1945 to 1952, Hoyos appeared in uncredited screen roles, but he landed his first credited part as Alvarado in the 1952 film The Fighter, based on a short story by Jack London. That same year, he was cast in two episodes, "Thunderhead" and "Bell of Santa Margarita", of the syndicated television series, The Cisco Kid, starring Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carrillo. In 1954, he appeared in two episodes of the anthology series, Schlitz Playhouse, the first role as Colonel Louis Coca in the episode "Little War at San Dede." In 1956, he played Rafael Rosillo in the film The Brave One, the story of a Mexican youth who tries to keep his bull from the bullfighting ring.
Hoyos portrayed Colonel Martín Perfecto de Cos in the 1956 film The First Texan, about the rise of Sam Houston in Texas. Cos ordered the arrest of William B. Travis and directed his Mexican soldiers to scale successfully the walls of The Alamo.
In 1957, Hoyos was cast as Captain Hernando Sanchez in "Gone to Texas" and as General Antonio López de Santa Anna, also the president of Mexico, in "Mexican Adventure" of the CBS adventure, drama, and western series, The Adventures of Jim Bowie, starring Scott Forbes as the American adventurer Jim Bowie.
