Luis Saguar (October 6, 1957 – July 8, 2009) was an American writer, professor and actor in theater and films. Saguar played characters as diverse as wise elders, terrifying addicts, and strange sidekicks. He was also co-founder of Campo Santo, the theater company at the Intersection for the Arts. He is especially known for his work in 8mm, Fun with Dick and Jane and Flawless films, and his theater work in "Santos & Santos" (work directed by Octavio Solis), playing one of the corrupt lawyer brothers.
Saguar was born in San Francisco, California, and was raised in Daly City, California. He had three siblings: Pablo Saguar, Frank Arambarri and Gloria Flore. During his adolescence, Saguar began using drugs, and at 15 was jailed for participating in a robbery. He turned his life around when he began his acting career at almost 30. In 2001, he published his work "Angulo Hotel", in which he spoke of living on the streets and explaining the risks of drugs and crime.

He acted on many stages in the Bay Area, Magic Theatre, American Conservatory Theater, Theatreworks USA, and ELTeatro Campesino.
