Mexican actor, Adan Canto, known for his roles in “Designated Survivor” and the superhero drama “X-Men: Days of Future Past”, has died following a battle with cancer.
The actor died at the age of 42 on Monday, January 8, 2024, after succumbing to appendiceal cancer.
Canto’s demise was confirmed by publicist Jennifer Allen, who said, “Adan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever. He will be greatly missed by so many.”
Canto’s wife Stephanie Ann posted a photo of the couple, a Bible passage, and the words: “Forever my treasure Adan, see you soon.”
Canto, who was born in Mexico and raised in Texas, starred as the pyrokinetic mutant Sunspot in 2014’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” appearing alongside Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman in the sci-fi-action flick. The film went on to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Achievement in Visual Effects in 2015.
Canto began his career at age 16 when he left his home in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, for Mexico City to work as a singer-songwriter.
He then began pursuing acting, making his TV debut on the 2009 Mexican series “Estado de Gracia.” His American debut came later in Kevin Williamson’s drama series “The Following,” which starred Kevin Bacon.
Adan Canto also starred in the Halle Berry-directed sports drama “Bruised” in 2020, as well as the 2022 action thriller “Agent Game.”
