RoboCop fans will certainly remember him and they will fondly missed him. Mario Machado, the former L.A Newsman just passed away this Saturday at age of 78. According to his relatives, Mr. Machado was suffering from the Parkinson disease. 

Machado worked at LA’s CBS-TV among other local stations, starting his career in 1967 at KHJ-TV (now KCAL-TV) as an on-air news reporter, a first for a Chinese-American, according to LARadio.com. He also was a soccer commentator. His film and TV credits include Scarface and the 1971 TV movie Brian’s Song. He is best remembered playing Casey Wong opposite Jessie Perkins in RoboCop Trilogy.

Rest in Pease Mr.Machado. May your spirit be a source of joy and happiness forever. I just hope RoboCop 2014 will be dedicated to him.
