Seriously he looks nothing like Ritchie at all!! I don't like when they cast actors that don't look like the characters they're portraying.
shareWho cares if he doesn't look like him? Let's worry about how great the movie was and the movie was excellent. Looking for latino's in the late 80's that were actors wasn't that easy so give him a break.

He died in 1959 or so. This movie was made in 1987. A lot of viewers didn’t really know what Valens looked like, so the lack of resemblance wasn’t a deal breaker
shareAnd if anyone did look like Richie Valens the movie wouldnt have appeal. Lou Diamond has movie star looks, Richie Valens did not.
shareThey casted Lou because they couldn't get Peter North... his twin.
shareBetter to inhabit the spirit than to lool like them. Compare Austin Butler who doesn't look like Elvis but embodied his spirit to Jonathan Rhys Meyers who looked more like Elvis but was spiritually and every other aspect the opposite of Elvis.
