Ricardo Wright Herrero, better known by his stage name Subas Herrero (April 3, 1943 – March 14, 2013), was a Spanish Filipino actor, comedian and singer of Spanish-American descent.
Herrero is best known for Champoy (1980–85), a Philippine gag show where he formed a Laurel and Hardy-like tandem with fellow Ateneo de Manila University alumnus and Filipino actor Noel Trinidad. Aside from television, Herrero also appeared in several films, which include Bakekang (1978), Karapatan ko ang pumatay... Kapitan Guti (1990), and Gao ya xian (1995). He played villain for several action stars like Fernando Poe, Jr., Ramon Revilla, Joseph Estrada and Rudy Fernandez in films and also co-starred in comedy films with Dolphy, Chiquito, Redford White and the trio of Tito, Vic and Joey.
In 1986, Herrero and Trinidad went live on Philippine television to call for the Filipino public to join the crowds at EDSA calling for the ouster of then-Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos. After the revolution, Herrero recorded Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo (The Gift of the Filipinos to the World) along with 14 other Filipino artists to celebrate the peaceful revolt.
