Raúl "Chato" Padilla García (17 June 1918 – 3 February 1994) was a Mexican actor, and a member of Chespirito's comedy troupe, famous for his character in El Chavo del Ocho, Jaimito, el cartero ("Jaimito, the Mailman").[2]
Padilla joined the show in 1979 following the departure of Ramón Valdés, gradually taking over the sorts of roles Valdés used to play. He also worked on the film El Chanfle, scripted and starred by Chespirito. Padilla's second major character was that of Licenciado Morales, who was in charge of the local police station in Los Caquitos.
Raúl died of a heart attack on February 3, 1994, at age 75. His nickname, "Chato", means "pug"; the nickname was in reference to his broad, flat nose. His son, Raul Padilla Jr. "El Choforo" (1940-2013) also worked with Chespirito and was an actor in his own right.
