Dr. Édgar Ángel Vivar Villanueva (born December 28, 1948〔) is a Mexican actor. He is best remembered as "Señor Barriga" and his son "Ñoño" from ''El Chavo del Ocho'', and as "El Botija" from ''El Chapulín Colorado'' and Chespirito. His other notable role is in a Mexico telanovela, ''Amarte Así'' as Don Pedro, a lonely man who work as a cashier in the restaurant of his stepson El Frijol. Edgar started his acting career in 1964 as a theater actor. He toured the United States with some of his plays. This gave him vast experience in the acting field. In 1970, Chespirito needed a robust person to play "Señor Barriga" ("Mr. Potbelly" in Spanish) as well as Ñoño in his upcoming Televisa production of ''El Chavo del 8'', and Vivar was hired for the job. Both shows became major international hits, allowing Vivar to become known beyond Mexico and to tour all over Latin America, Spain and, once again, the United States. He also made an attempt at becoming a telenovela actor, participating in his co-star Florinda Meza's production, ''Alguna vez Tendremos Alas'' (''Someday, we will have wings''). His weight caused him serious heart related trouble after the half-hour ''Chespirito'' productions were over in 1980 (it is believed that his temporary absence from the show may have been weight-related, and was explained that his character, el Botija, had gone to a weight loss clinic.) In 1992, he left the hour-long ''Chespirito'' program briefly for therapy at a weight-loss clinic. He lost a great amount of weight, which helped save his life. He kept touring the countries where Chespirito shows were kept on television as re-runs after the show was over. In 2006, Vivar appeared in the movie ''Bandidas'' as a bank manager. Also co-starred in a telenovela made in Argentina, ''Amarte Así'', that became a major success in South America, Spain, and USA. Recently he had a role in the most recent production of Guillermo del Toro ''El Orfanato'', filmed in Spain and released in October 2007. The same year, he voiced Auguste Gusteau in the Latin-American version of Disney-Pixar's ''Ratatouille''. He later voiced Dug in ''Up'' In 2008, Vivar underwent gastric bypass surgery at a clinic in Colombia, and has lost approximately 165 pounds. Following his surgery, he has become an advocate for healthy living, particularly for overcoming obesity. Following his weight loss surgery, Vivar retired all of his ''Chespirito'' characters, stating that because of his weight loss, they were no longer appropriate. He would, however, reprise the voices of Señor Barriga and his son Ñoño for an episode of the animated ''Chavo,'' the only castmember from the original series to do so. ==Acting roles== * 1970: ''Chespirito'', Mexican television series (Sr. Barriga, Ñoño, Botija). * 1973: ''El Chapulín Colorado'', Mexican television series (Sr. Barriga, Ñoño, Botija). * 1973: ''El Chavo del 8'', Mexican television series (Sr. Barriga, Ñoño, Botija). * 1974: ''Mundo de juguete'', Mexican telenovela written by Argentinian Abel Santa Cruz (1915–1995). * 1979: ''El Chanfle'', film by Roberto Gómez Bolaños, with all the characters from El Chavo (Dr. Nájera). * 1982: ''El Chanfle II'', sequel to previous film (Dr. Nájera). * 1983: ''Don Ratón y Don Ratero'', Mexican movie by Roberto Gómez Bolaños. * 1983: ''El malas valiente del mundo'', Mexican adventure film. * 1984: ''Frankenstein's Great Aunt Tillie'', American comedy film (Feldwebel Erstarren). * 1987: ''Escuadrón sida'', Mexican comedy film with Ramón Aguirre. * 1988: ''Musica de viento'', dramatic comady film by Roberto Gómez Bolaños. * 1990: Final episode of ''Chespirito'' (Sr. Barriga, Ñoño, Botija). * 1992: ''Gordo'', Mexican comedy short (19 min.) by Enrique Arroyo (Gordo). * 1997: ''Alguna vez tendremos alas'', Mexican telenovela (Sebastián Medina). * 1998: ''¿Qué nos pasa?'', television satire series (two episodios). * 1998: ''Navidad fabuloja'', 30 minute television program (Rey mago). * 2000: ''No contaban con mi astucia'', Mexican television program (Édgar Vivar). * 2002: ''De pe a pa'', Mexican television series (Édgar Vivar). * 2004: ''El show del vampiro'', Mexican short animation (voz del vampiro Max). * 2005: ''Amarte así'', Mexican telenovela (Don Pedro). * 2005: ''Aplausos'', Mexican television series (Édgar Vivar). * 2005: ''Chespirito: 35 años en el corazón de México'', Mexican television program (Édgar Vivar). * 2006: ''Bandidas'', film with Salma Hayek and Penélope Cruz (bank manager). * 2007: ''El orfanato'', film by Guillermo del Toro (Dr. Balabán). * 2008: ''All Inclusive'', Chilean film (taxi driver). * 2010-2011: Para volver a amar, Mexican telenovela (Renato) * 2011: ''Juan & La Borrega'' short film by J.
