In the Alan Ladd action-adventure drama Branded, Pepito Perez (real name, Jose Escobar Perez) has a small, uncredited role.
Synopsis: Twenty-five years ago the Lavery baby was kidnapped. Alan Ladd plays Choya, a bandit who poses as the long-lost son of a wealthy Texas rancher to gain the Lavery estate. Shamed by the kindness of his new family and attracted to his lovely “sister” Ruth, Choya fesses up to her and vows to right the wrong he’s done the family. To redeem himself, he rides out in search of the real missing heir … and into adventure as big as the western sky.
