The “Crocodile Dundee” films will always remember Paul Rodriguez as Diego, in the third and final installment of the Dundee films. Born in Mexico but raised in Los Angeles, Rodriguez has developed into a diverse and multi-talented entertainer. When it comes to comedians, Paul Rodriguez has had quite a long and incredible career. Rodriguez has starred in many acclaimed films, like “Ali” and “Blood Work.”
In 2004, he was ranked #74 on Comedy Central’s list of the “100 Greatest Standups of all Time.” Aside from acting, he also received the “Humanitarian of the Year Award” for his contribution toward water conservation in the City of Fresno.
Gerry Skilton
Crocodile Dundee heartthrob Nugget O’Cass was played by Gerry Skilton. Gerry went on to have appearances in all three of the "Crocodile Dundee" films. Unfortunately, those appearances would be the only roles on his resume. For some reason, Hollywood stopped sending Gerry audition notices and information, so unfortunately, Skilton had no choice but to retire from acting in 2001.
His last film was "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" — just like so many other actors on this list. He reprised the character in 2010 for a proposed outback-adventure reality series, "Nugget Gets A Life," with permission from Paul Hogan, which he self-financed and had hoped to sell to a network.
Jonathan Banks
Jonathan Banks has probably had the biggest career success story after being a part of the "Crocodile Dundee" films. He has become one of the most in-demand character actors on television today. Prior to Dundee, he was in the films "Airplane!" and "Beverly Hills Cop." He got his first big break on the TV series "Wiseguys."
He has most recently hit it big in his role as a former police officer who turns into a hitman in the AMC series "Breaking Bad" and its spinoff, "Better Call Saul." This has even led to Academy Award recognition for the burly character actor, as well as five Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
Jere Burns
Donning the ultimate ‘bad guy’ look, Jere Burns remains one of the most memorable cast members in "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles," playing the role of Arnan Rothman. Jere has had quite an impressive career since the ending of the Dundee trilogy.
He has gone on to get some huge TV roles on his resume - working on projects like "The Muppets," "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series," and the hit TV series "Justified" as Wynn Duffy. Jere Burns has also appeared on Broadway! His Broadway credits include "Hairspray" and "After the Night and the Music."
Charles S. Dutton
Charles Dutton is well known as Leroy Brown in "Crocodile Dundee II," but that is just a small piece of his long-acting resume. He has gone on to star in many well-known films and television shows. Some of his best-known works are his roles as Fortune in the film "Rudy," Dillon in "Alien 3," and his starring role in the TV series "Roc," where he played the title character.
In 2002 and 2003, Charles picked up some Outstanding Guest Actor Emmy Awards for his roles in "The Practice" and "Without a Trace." He also had a nomination in 1999 for his guest-starring role as Alvah Case in the HBO drama "Oz," but he did not win. For his role in "Oz," he was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award.
