Who is Carlos Balá?
Carlos Balá is an Argentine actor who specialized in children's entertainment. Descended from Lebanese and Croatian immigrants, he was born in 1925 in the Chacarita neighborhood. His father, Mustafá Balaá, was a butcher and his mother was Juana Boglich.
His trademarks were his particular bowl cut hairstyle and catch phrases with a nonsense flavor, repeated in many gags:
Q: ¿Qué gusto tiene la sal? A: ¡Salado!
Q: ¿El chupete es..? A: "¡Feo!"
¡Mirá cómo tiemblo!
¡Te pasaste, Petronilo! ¡Pegá la vuelta!
Mamá... ¿cuándo nos vamos?
¿Un gestito de idea?
Ea-ea-a pe-pé
¡Zumbu-drule!
On TV, Carlitos had a supposedly invisible dog named Angueto; Balá would be pulled around by a taut leash, with no dog at the end.
