Ricardo Vizcarra Michaca (December 10, 1947 – October 11, 2016), known by his stage name Dick Israel, was a Filipino character actor who played mostly villain and sidekick roles in many Filipino movies. He later branched out in television playing father and supporting roles.

On October 11, 2016, Israel suffered blood vomiting, and later died in his home, according to actress Vivian Velez, a member of the Damay Kamay Foundation. He was 68. His wife, Marilyn Michacha, died less than week later due to unrelated circumstances. Before his death, Israel was seeking help after his residence in Bagong Barrio, Caloocan was damaged in a fire in July of the same year.
