A Spanish actor, who has played at ninety-something movies, most of them extremely bad, with him acting as a cheap Spanish Donjuan to foreign girls (mainly French, and Swedish), and in many bad taste pictures of similar concern, so much that I never thought of him as an actor... until the day he came to the screen in "El Crack", playing a very credible detective, and then "Los Santos Inocentes", and my God, what a change!: he played an incredibly difficult role as a peasant, a serf to a bastard of a landowner, with exquisite sensitivity, giving the right measure, never overacting, never short..., simply superb! That dwarf became a true giant, and that film could never be so good with any other actor.

Later to that, he has done some other good ones, just to prove it was not pure chance: look at his filmography, and try to find "Los Santos Inocentes", "El Bosque Animado", "El Rio que nos lleva", and then, just to check the change, any of his shitty 60 first pictures...
