Unidentified actors

Unidentified credited actors

• Maria De la Casa - She has no other known credits. IMDb says that she plays Vicky (image 91), but they misidentify 2 other roles, there is no way to identify her and there are several other female roles that might be credited, so this is totally unreliable.
• Gregorio McGregor - Great name, but he has no other known credits

Uncredited actors listed by other sources, but not identified

• Puma Norteño - IMDb as Masked Wrestler. There are 3 unidentified masked wrestlers who appear and he has no other known credits.

Of the unidentified credited actors, the only one who there is some chance of identifying is José María Portillo.

He has 12 credits on IMDb, but only one with a role from which he could be identified in an episode of the Los libros TV series. This is not as straightforward as you would expect, since he is playing one of 2 brothers who are only ever seen together and are never addressed separately, so it's impossible to know which name applies to which actor. Anyway he is one of the 2 actors pictured below. The actor playing his brother is Juan Amigo, who may be identifiable from other roles.

The only actor in a role that might be credited who I thought could be a possibility is the police officer in image 10, who I thought could be the actor on the left in the first images. Any opinions?

This is curious, but the passport control officer in 84/85 would appear to have a second job as a wrestling judge in 98, even wearing the same tie!

Further to Portillo, IMDb lists him as playing one of 3 henchmen in identical roles in an episode of Curro Jimenez. I thought the actor on the right here could be the same actor as in the 2 roles mentioned previously - the other 2 henchmen didn't match at all. What do people think of the three below being the same person?

[PeplumParadise]

Since no-one has expressed any opinions I've taken the executive decision and have added Portillo. The nose, slightly lop-sided mouth and shape of the face all match, so I am satisfied with the ID.
