Some of his most recognized productions are I Present You to Laura (2010), X-Men : Days of Future Past (2014) and Cleaning Lady (2022).
Through a statement received by Deadline, Fox and Warner Bros. announced the death of the actor:

Although the cause of death is not mentioned in the statements sent to American media, Deadline reports that Canto died from complications resulting from appendix cancer.
