Alejandro Reyna, known as "El Tío Plácido", was a Mexican character actor and singer. He usually appeared in films starring Antonio Aguilar. He was one of the three main norteño actors of Mexican cinema, alongside Eulalio González "Piporro" and Eleazar García "Chelelo".
Born in Torreón, Coahuila, Reyna sang norteña music in the group "El Tío Plácido con sus Sobrinos". He appeared in films for the first time in 1958 and left cinema in 1982. After many minor roles, Reyna was given a special billing in Caballo prieto azabache. He was mostly cast as one of Aguilar's sidekicks alongside Eleazar García "Chelelo". Such is the case in Lucio Vázquez and Lauro Puñales.
