Otilio Warrington

Otilio Warrington, known popularly as Bizcocho (born February 26, 1949) is a comedian, best known for his roles of "Bizcocho" and "Cuca Gómez". Among the shows which Warrington has hosted are Friendo y Comiendo and "A Freir y a Comer" alongside Luis Antonio Cosme, Café con Leche alongside Lily García and Yan Ruíz and a television program transmitted through WAPA-TV called La Cocina Caliente de Luis y Bizcocho (Luis and Bizcocho's Hot Kitchen), alongside Luisito Vigoreaux; Hola Gente alongside Alexandra Fuentes and Gerardo Ortiz; and together with Lily and Yan a morning show called "¡Buenos Días!" (Good Morning!)[2] Actor José Reymundí began a strike against Producciones Tommy Muñiz in 1973, in particular against its administrator Hérnan Nigaglioni, claiming that he had been left out of a local production to favor foreigners.[3] Warrington, Candal, Morales, Carbia, Molina and García left to create Producciones ASTRA and joined Channel 7.[4] This would only last for some years, since the company gained a reputation for supporting work syndicates and were avoided.[4] After working for different shows landed a spot in " Cogiendo Impulso", which was transmitted on Channel 11; it was here that he developed the characters of "Juancito" and "Pito". While working in the comedy Los Kakukomicos, Warrington played the character of "Cuca Gómez", a cross-dressing role that would help settle Warrington's fame as a comedian. The plot involved a female cosmetologist who was involved in all kinds of hilarious and off-the-wall situations. "Cuca Gómez" became very popular in Puerto Rico and soon appeared in other TV shows as a special guest star. In 1985, Warrington was named "Mr. Television" by the Artistic Association of Puerto Rico.[2][5] Along Juan Manuel Lebrón, Warrington was recognized as one of the best improv comedians in Puerto Rico during the 1980s.[6]

Early years

edit

Encouraged by Muñiz's challenge, Warrington returned to school and graduated from Central High School of Santurce in mid-late 1960s; he then went back to Muñiz to take him up on his earlier offer.[7] While he resumed his job polishing boots, the producer summoned him to the studio in order to appear in the debuting military comedy.[7] Tommy Muñiz kept his word and let Otilio assist in the TV show "El Special de Corona" (The Corona Special). He made his television debut on August 22, 1967, at the age of 16, having been given the stagename of "Bizcocho" as a placeholder.[8] Thus, Warrington became the first black Puerto Rican male comedian to be regularly featured on a local TV program. Nervous and inexperienced, his first scene was shot six times.[9] One of the show's sections involved a group of "wacky" soldiers and included José Miguel Agrelot (as "Sargento Manteca) and Jacobo Morales. When Otilio joined the group, Morales baptized him as "Soldier Bizcocho" (Cake), a nickname that would remain with him for the rest of his life.[2]
