Jorge Raúl Porcel de Peralta (September 7, 1936 – May 16, 2006) was a comedy actor and television host from Argentina. He was nicknamed El Gordo de América (America's Fat Guy). Porcel is considered, along with Alberto Olmedo, one of Argentina's greatest comic actors of the twentieth century.

Porcel made a total of 49 movies, starting with 1962's Disloque en Mar del Plata, and ending with Carlito's Way (1993). Many of these 49 movies were collaborations with Olmedo. Among the movies they did together was 1986's Rambito y Rambón: Primera Misión. (Little Rambo and Big Rambo: First Mission)

Many of Porcel and Olmedo's movies in the 1970s and 1980s were adult-oriented comedies. Conservative Argentine authorities rated these movies as PM-18 (age 18 and above), except for some movies planned for family audiences, which had "tamer" content. These movies are considered to be the pinnacle of Argentina's sexploitation movie genre. Most of these movies were directed by Gerardo Sofovich or his brother Hugo. Porcel virtually stopped appearing in these movies after the accidental death of Olmedo, which left him clinically depressed.

Alberto Olmedo (August 24, 1933 – March 5, 1988) was an Argentine comedian and actor.

Olmedo was born in Barrio Pichincha, Rosario, Santa Fe Province. In his teens, he was a gifted gymnast and an aspiring actor, who tried his luck with several amateur theater companies and enjoyed some local success.

Olmedo moved to Buenos Aires in 1954. One year later, while working as a technician in Canal 7, Argentina's first television station, his improvisation skills caught the attention of the management, who gave him acting jobs in several TV shows.

Even though Olmedo had a string of successful children's programs during the 1960s, the peak of his abilities would arrive when given the opportunity to mix slapstick, nonsense, and adult-oriented entertainment.

Starting with Gringalet in 1959, Olmedo starred in 49 movies, including: Los Doctores las Prefieren Desnudas (Doctors Prefer Them Naked), in 1973, Maridos en Vacaciones, (Husbands on Vacation, 1975), Fotógrafo de Señoras (Ladies' Photographer, 1978), Las Mujeres Son Cosas de Guapos (1981), Los Fierecillos Indomables (The Indomitable Little Beasts, 1982), Sálvese Quien Pueda (Every Man for Himself, 1984), and Rambito y Rambón, Primera Misión (Little Rambo and Big Rambo, First Mission, 1986). His last movie was Atracción Peculiar, released shortly after his death. Los Fierecillos Indomables had a sequel in 1983.

Javier Portales, whose birth name was Miguel Ángel Álvarez, (Tancacha, Córdoba, Argentina, 21 April 1937 - Buenos Aires, 14 October 2003) was an Argentine actor with work in television, film and theater.

Portales started to work early in life in the theater, then moved to television on a program that dealt with the troubles a group of young people had in high-school in "Quinto Año Nacional" by Abel Santa Cruz. it was in 1964 when his career took an important turn when he was hired for the hit comedy "Operación Ja-Já", where he joined several established comic actors such as Fidel Pintos, Juan Carlos Altavista, Adolfo García Grau and Jorge Porcel. It was in that program that he met his future television friend and colleague Alberto Olmedo.

He did some work in film, starring in 1962 in Una Jaula no tiene secretos.

Portales and Olmedo, along with Porcel worked together in a series of successful projects for the movies and for the comedy theater and musicals, also in television, during the 1970s and 1980s.

His career began in 1959; he played a significant role in the history of Mexican rock. He is one of the most prolific Mexican singers, both as the singer of Los Gibson Boys and as a solo artist.
