Adan Canto — known for bringing his Mexican music career to Hollywood as a film actor — has died at the age of 42. The Cleaning Lady star’s death was reportedly caused by appendicial cancer. He is survived by his wife, Stephanie Ann Canto, and their two children, Roman Alder, 3, and Eve Josephine, 18 months.
Canto was known for his roles in X Men: Days of Future Past, portraying the role of Sunspot, and his main role in Designated Survivor as Aaron Shore. He initially pursued a music career as a guitarist, then left home when he was 16 years old. After moving to the U.S., Canto continued singing and performing but eventually got involved in film and television. By 2013, the Mexico native made his TV debut in Fox’s The Following, playing the role of Paul Torres.
Shortly afterward, Canto landed his role in X-Men.
