HELP!!!! CASTING CALL!!!!

I've looked & looked and for the life of me, I cannot find the actor who played the role of Angel Ramirez. Angel was a short-term character around 85 or 86, and was brought back in 87/88, when Cruz was jailed for the murder of Eleanor Norris/Elena Nikolas. I checked IMDB, which has a surprisingly comprehensive list, but after going over it with a fine tooth comb, I found no mention of Angel. There aren't many SB sites out there and on the ones there are, I have yet to find any information on this character. So since I haven't found the original, I need the help of anyone who remembers the character at all- if you remember the original actor, great! But if not, I'd like any ideas you may have as to who would be good in the part. Angel would be in his late 30s, is a hardened criminal, former gang member, very rough around the edges, and hispanic. The role is short-term and a recurring one, though I'm keeping my mind open about possibly expanding his run. Again, any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!! Time is of the essence- he'll start appearing more regularly next week!
