Otilio Warrington

Warrington was born in the Barrio Obrero area of Santurce, Puerto Rico. When he was nine years old, his family moved to the Lloréns Torres public housing project. Warrington left school when he was a teenager and made a living by polishing shoes at a local barbershop. ==Bizcocho==

Encouraged by Muñiz's challenge, Warrington returned to school and graduated from Central High School of Santurce in mid-late 1960s; he then went back to Muñiz to take him up on his earlier offer. While he resumed his job polishing boots, the producer summoned him to the studio in order to appear in the debuting military comedy. Thus, Warrington became the first black Puerto Rican male comedian to be regularly featured on a local TV program. Nervous and inexperienced, his first scene was shot six times. One of the show's sections involved a group of "wacky" soldiers and included José Miguel Agrelot and Jacobo Morales. When Otilio joined the group, Morales baptized him as "Soldier Bizcocho" (Cake), a nickname that would remain with him for the rest of his life. Actor José Reymundí began a strike against Producciones Tommy Muñiz in 1973, in particular against its administrator Hérnan Nigaglioni, claiming that he had been left out of a local production to favor foreigners. Soon afterwards, he was joined by more people as APATE joined and people like Castro decided not to cross the protest lines, while others like Candal actively joined the protests. WAPA-TV decided not to intervene and distanced itself from the issue. In the end, Muñiz granted the demands of the protestors, such as health coverage or six month contracts, but Reymundí was unable to benefit due to the cancellation of the production due to the strike. Producciones Tommy Muñiz was affected by it, with only productions like Esto no tiene nombre or Ja-ja, ji-ji, jo-jo con Agrelot surviving. ==Cuca Gómez==

Later, in the early 1980's, while working in the comedy Los Kakukomicos, Warrington developed the character of "Cuca Gómez", a cross-dressing role that would help settle Warrington's fame as a comedian. The plot involved a female cosmetologist who was involved in all kinds of hilarious and off-the-wall situations. "Cuca Gómez" became very popular in Puerto Rico and soon appeared in other TV shows as a special guest star. In 1985, Warrington was named "Mr. Television" by the Artistic Association of Puerto Rico. ==Music==

In 1986, Pijuán, a Puerto Rican musician, in conjunction with Bizcocho created an album called Bizcocho & Pijuán "El premio 'Gordo' del Sabor", under Private Ranch Records. ==Later years==

In the 1990s, Warrington starred in his own TV show, Mi Familia (My Family), where he acted as "Arcadio". He also worked in El Show de las 12 (''The 12 o'clock Show'') acting as "Don Ambrosio" and "Yeyito". ==Other shows==

Among the shows which Warrington has hosted are Friendo y Comiendo and "A Freir y a Comer" alongside Luis Antonio Cosme, Café con Leche alongside Lily García and Yan Ruíz and a television program transmitted through WAPA-TV called La Cocina Caliente de Luis y Bizcocho (''Luis and Bizcocho's Hot Kitchen), alongside Luisito Vigoreaux; Hola Gente'' alongside Alexandra Fuentes and Gerardo Ortiz; and together with Lily and Yan a morning show called "¡Buenos Días!" (Good Morning!) ==Health problems==

Warrington had gallbladder surgery during 2017, after it was discovered, during a visit to an emergency room, that he had stones inside that organ. ==See also==
