Unidentified actors

Unidentified credited actors

• Francisco del Busto - IMDb says he has no other known credits. They do have 2 credits for an actor credited as "Francisco del Busto" listed as an alternative name under the profile for Paco del Busto, but his 4 acting credits are all Mexican productions, so it's doubtful that it would be the same actor (I did check 2 of these, but didn't see any familiar faces).
• Ferphy - Obviously a nickname, he (or she) has one other credit under this name listed on IMDb with no role.
• Elena Guillmain - She has one other credit listed on IMDb with no role. The only remaining unidentified female roles are all background roles as train passengers, so she could be anyone.
• Juan Lafuente - He has no other known credits.
• Joaquín Mas - He has no other known credits.
• "Zambudio" - Obviously a nickname, the credits list him with the name in quotation marks. He (or she) has no other known credits, at least under this name anyway.
  Child actors
  The child actors must presumably be playing the 4 remaining children of the large family plus the sick child who has the operation, but with no way of knowing which can be which.
• Faustino Ocaña - He has one other credit as actor from 1960, with no role in a film featuring a large cast of children. His IMDb profile also lists a number of production credits, but since these commence in the 1950's then they must surely belong to someone else of the same name - his father maybe?
• Francisco Ocaña - He has no other known credits. It would seem a safe bet that he is the brother of Faustino (above).
• Erasmo Pascual hijo - He has 14 credits listed on IMDb, but the other 13 date from the late 60's/early 70's when he would have been in his mid-late teens, so, while he could be identified, the chances of matching him with images here dating 12 or more years earlier are very slim.
• Javier Terol - He has no other known credits.
• Antonio Velasco - He has no other known credits.

Uncredited actors listed as appearing by other sources, but not identified

• Casimiro Hurtado - IMDb

Of the remaining unidentified actors the only one who I think probably should be credited is the waiter in 12/52/53. With a number of actors credited in non-speaking background roles the remaining credits could really belong to anybody, including our unidentified actors (though I would be very surprised if the likes of "Big Nose 'Tache" and "Mr. Grumpy" do not have more than one film where they would be credited - if we could only find those films!).

I previously had this identified as Emilio García Domenech, but on close examination I don't think it's him, so have deleted it from his topic

maybe Casimiro Hurtado?
