"Mr. Suave" is an unidentified background actor, active in Spanish films at least from the mid-1970's to mid-80's.

I felt his nickname suited him, though I was sorely tempted to call him "Mayo's Twin", since he does bear a rather uncanny resemblance to Spanish character actor Alfredo Mayo. While most of our 'twin' topics bear a passing resemblance, "Mr. Suave" really could be Mayo's brother (though I can find no information that suggests that he had one), but where Mayo always played quite substantial character roles, our man here was always in the background.

It looks like he always kept the same look, always dressed smartly, with neatly-trimmed moustache, bushy sideburns and receding hair brushed back.

He does also appear briefly elsewhere in the film, but I couldn't work out a better description. I would think he must almost certainly be credited here as all the other actors in identical roles seem to be, including Sergio Mendizabal and Estanis Gonzalez who he is standing with, however with around 100 credited actors it will be a major job to narrow it down. If the film should appear in HD then I may attempt a topic in the hopes of identifying him.
