: Antonio Jiménez Escribano in Los siete de Pancho Villa (1967)

Antonio Jiménez Escribano was a small-part actor, active in Spanish and European films from the late 1950's until his death in 1972.

According to all available sources, Antonio was born on April 27th 1902 in Salamanca, Spain.[1]

It appears that he worked as a lawyer until around 1958 and on retirement from that profession, aged around 56, he decided to try his hand at film acting and quickly became in demand for small character roles. He worked quite prolifically for the next 12 years and also has several credits as a screenwriter.

Antonio died in Madrid at the age of 70, on August 7th 1972.

His first surname is spelled almost as frequently with "G" as it is with "J", so it's hard to know which should be the correct spelling. Wikipedia and EdCE opt for the "G" spelling, but since credits using the "J" spelling slightly outnumber the "G"'s then that is the one I have chosen to use here. Throughout his career he would be credited with pretty much every possible abbreviation of his name with either spelling. I have found undocumented roles for Antonio, so there could always be more.

No Antonio!

Titles where Antonio is listed as appearing somewhere online, but cannot be found. There always has to be one!

Mensajeros de paz (1957) IMDb with no role. We now have a topic for this film and there is still no sign of him..
Campanadas a medianoche (1965) EdCE. Not found after multiple searches.
El hombre que mató a Billy el Niño (1967) EdCE. Not found by myself or Carlos.
La última aventura del Zorro (1969) IMDb as Images from archive. Hard to know what to make of IMDb's "role description", it presumably means that he has been recognised in some on-set images, but he is not credited and, as far as I could find, does not appear. It could be his appearance here has been confused with his appearances in 2 other Zorro films the following year.
