Cantinflas Cantinflas, born Mario Moreno, was the greatest comic actor in the history of Mexican cinema and one of the most recognizable figures in Latin American pop culture. His character — a bumbling but charming pelado who spoke in nonsensical verbal circles — gave the Spanish language a new verb: "cantinflear," meaning to speak much and say nothing. Charlie Chaplin reportedly called him "the greatest comedian alive," and his international breakthrough came with the Hollywood film 'Around the World in 80 Days' (1956), for which he won a Golden Globe.
