keanu reeves is ortiz the dog boy
Perhaps one of his best performaces, Keanu is not even credited in the film(theres not even a listing for ortiz in the ending credits). But on the new special edition dvd he is listed on the back.
shareI knew it!!!
I remember having a very indepth argument with my brother over who played Ortiz. I for one having grown up watching cartoons, have a very unique gift for picking up on someones voice. Once I hear a persons voice enough I can pick it out just by hearing it. As soon as I heard Ortiz's voice I KNEW it was Keanu under that make-up. I even recorded the end credits to see who was listed as playing Ortiz only to see the character wasn't even credited.
Thanks to the original poster for clearing things up :)
no he isn't.....if you actually looked inside the book that came with it....it has a trivia thing....and it says he did not play it
shareIf you read the REST of the trivia inside the book, and believe that it was some local that looks and sounds just like Keanu played Ortiz, then you must also believe everything else that's inside the book as well, like the part where it says the shot of The Troll falling from the plane was actually a real Japanese Businessman who just so happened to fall at the same location.
shareThe booklet is a goof, a gag. It's just there for comedy. A couple posts above me pointed out that on the making of documentary, Keanu is there, with no makeup, playing Ortiz.
shareCopy and paste this link and scroll down the page. You will find a rare photo of Keanu Reeves in mid-trasformation as Ortiz.

If you read the name that they print as the supposed real name of the actor, it's obviously a joke.
Bender: I was God once.
God: Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died.
it doesnt require any special powers of perception to see and hear that it is Reeves, though one may get confused because there IS a hint of acting talent in this performance...
