It's safe to say we can speculate based on what info we can gather. But as far as this Wiki goes, we tend to not use IMDB as an official and/or reputable source unless if absolutely necessary...and neither is the case here.

That being said, it would be interesting if it was true. Also makes me curious on if Juan Carlos Vellido is portraying the same character (the Spanish fisherman) or a newer character entirely. I'm thinking the latter, but who knows?
