"The Grey Man"

[PeplumParadise]

"The Grey Man" in a selection of 60's and 70's roles

"The Grey Man" was a background actor, active in Spanish films from the mid-1960's through the 1970's, with possible identifications from the 40's and 50's.

I have managed to build up a sizeable filmography for him without ever finding a good clear headshot, hence the collage on the right which will (hopefully) be replaced with a good single image when one can be found. No particular reason for his nickname, it's just a name I was saving his images under which seemed to suit him, but obviously his hair and moustache were grey, so there is that.

Sabela de Cambados (1949) as Bar customer (leaning on the bar with moustache).

While I am fairly confident that the first 2 early roles here could be our man, it is hard to be absolutely certain with no other early roles to compare them to. Hopefully some more early roles will be found to confirm these ID's, but until they are I am marking these as uncertain identifications.

[PeplumParadise]

El expreso de Andalucía (1956) as Passerby in the street.

A second early role that I am putting as uncertain until some more early roles can be found to confirm it.

[PeplumParadise]

Lost Command (1966) as Man at the funeral.

From this point onwards for the next 11 years I have found many roles and am more certain about most of the ID's.

[PeplumParadise]

Las cicatrices (1967) as Bullfight spectator.

I'm pretty sure we have him at the back in top left, but since it is somewhat intentionally out-of-focus it is hard to be absolutely certain.

No somos de piedra (1968) as Wedding guest

[PeplumParadise]

Catalina de Aragón (1969 TV mini-series) Episode 1, as Judge

[PeplumParadise]

Educando a una idiota (1969) as Reporter, in the dark glasses.

[PeplumParadise]

Esa mujer (1969) in dual roles as a Man at political meeting and a Spectator at performance

[PeplumParadise]

Soltera y madre en la vida (1969) just glimpsed fleetingly, as a Man outside the church
