Other Media
Mascarita Sagrada has not limited himself to working in the squared circle, he's also worked on a number of films and other projects. In 1992 he played a minor part in the movie Luchadores de las Estrellas (called "Starfighters" in English) where he played the role "Mini #1". He's also been featured in other several films and marketing campaigns, including an unaccredited cameo in the film My Giant with Billy Crystal and an ad campaign for Virgin Mobile.
In early 2009 there was some controversy over Mascara Sagrada's appearance in the movie "Feast 3 - the Happy Finish". A photo from the movie was published where it looked like Mascara Sagrada was caught without his mask and people complained that the producers broke with Lucha Libre "code" by showing him unmasked. Mascarita Sagrada himself confirmed a few days later that it was an actor that they showed unmasked, Sagrada did the wrestling scenes but remained masked the entire time.
On February 12, 2007, Yahoo! Music released a music video for the song "Uruapan Breaks" from popular Mexican band Kinky, off their album Reina. The video features Mascarita Sagrada in a modern homage to the popular Mexican wrestler movies of the 1960s and 70s.
