Though his career was tragically cut short, Rick Aviles left an indelible mark on cinema, making his film debut in *The Secret Policeman's Other Ball* in 1982. Many collectors will recognize his distinctive on-screen presence from the late 80s and early 90s. His turn as Willie Lopez in 1990's supernatural hit *Ghost* is arguably his most iconic role, a performance that remains a standout on countless DVD and Blu-ray editions of the film. However, for discerning cinephiles, Aviles's work in Jim Jarmusch's 1989 independent classic *Mystery Train* is a must-own. His portrayal of Will Robinson in the "Lost in Space" segment showcases his range beyond his more mainstream roles. This Criterion Collection favorite, available on Blu-ray, is a testament to Aviles's talent and a cornerstone for any collector looking for significant arthouse cinema. His appearances in films like 1993's *Carlito's Way* also make those releases sought after, highlighting a performer whose presence, even in supporting roles, was always memorable.
