Rudy Youngblood Passionate about his work, his people, his culture, & his role as Jaguar Paw in Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto He’s gorgeous, speaks Spanish, looks Mexican but … he’s not Latino ? He’s Indio - as in Native American. He’s passionate about his work, his people, his culture, and about his role as Jaguar Paw in Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto . Did I mention – he’s gorgeous?! Originally from a small town in Texas, Rudy Youngblood came to Los Angeles to start a Native American dance troupe.
