Adan Canto, the Mexican-American actor celebrated for his roles in ‘The Cleaning Lady’ and ‘Designated Survivor’, passed away on Tuesday (9th) at the age of 42 after a courageous battle with cancer. Canto, who also pursued a musical career in Mexico, had made a significant mark in Hollywood.
Recently, he starred as the male lead in the first two seasons of Fox’s dramatic series ‘The Cleaning Lady’. Though his health prevented him from filming at the start of the show’s third season in December, Canto planned to return to the cast later in the season. The series will pay tribute to its star with a special dedication in the premiere of its third season.
Born in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, in 1981 and raised in Texas, Canto left home at 16 to pursue his passion for music, performing as a singer and guitarist in Mexico City. His acting career began with local commercials and TV shows, leading to a significant role in Fox’s 2013 drama series ‘The Following’.
