Following up: This news was originally posted on Paul Le Mat's MySpace page
http://www.myspace.com/paullemat ). Le Mat and Padilla worked together in
AMERICAN GRAFFITI. What Le Mat ostensibly wrote was: "I'm very sadden by
the the loss of a wonderful friend in Manuel Padilla, Jr., who was in
American Graffiti & many other movies & TV shows. He will be missed by all
of us. R.I.P. my friend."

There's a tribute to Mr. Padilla on a Petaluma site dedicated to
American Graffiti. http://www.americangraffiti.net/
It says he passed on January 29, 2008.

Manuel is my cousin, he passed away on 1/29/2008. His services were
today in Burbank, CA and he has entered eternity. He is loved by his
two parents, one brother, four children and many other family and
friends. Manuel was best remembered for his role in the Tarzan
series; however, he was in many other movies such as American Graffiti
and Scarface to name a few.

Well, I hope you're right and not just funnin' us, like a lot of trolls are
wont to do.
Anyway, I remember the cutie Manuel from Tarzan. RIP.

That's sad. I remember the 'Tarzan' series, starring Ron Ely, from my
childhood.
If memory serves me right, didn't Manuel also have a recurring role on
Sally Field's "Flying Nun" series, as the son or newphew of the casino
owner, Carlos (Alejandro Rey)?
