Aníbal de Mar

Evaristo Simón Domínguez, better known by his stage name Aníbal de Mar (Yateras, Guantánamo, October 26, 1908 – Miami, February 22, 1980), was a Cuban comedian. He was the creator and performer of the character "El Tremendo Juez" from the radio and television show La Tremenda Corte, which is still broadcast today on radio as well as distributed on VHS and DVD. He was also a well-known radio drama actor on various stations in his country and appeared in films portraying his character **Filomeno**. Aníbal began his career in 1934, performing in various theaters across the island. During one of his shows in Santiago de Cuba with Don Pancracio and the characters of Los Felipitos, he portrayed multiple characters simultaneously. Eventually, the show was adapted for television, and years later, the film Una aventura peligrosa (A Dangerous Adventure) was produced in 1939. In 1934, he played a Chinese detective named Chan-Li Po in the radio series of the same name and also portrayed the character in the sound film La serpiente roja (The Red Snake), which was inspired by the American cinema detective Mr. Chan. The story was written by Félix B. Caignet, with contributions from Nenita Viera.
