Espinosa, José Jaime

[PeplumParadise]

José Jaime Espinosa in Cara de acelga (1987)

José Jaime Espinosa was a dwarf actor, active in Spanish films throughout the 1970's and 80's.

IMDb has his roles split over 2 profiles, as "José Jaime Espinosa" and "José Espinosa". Under the second profile they give the unconfirmed details that he was born in Tabernas, Almeria, Spain (date unknown) and that he died in 2001 in Seville.

It is very possible there could be some undocumented roles to be found, especially from the 70's where there are large gaps in his filmography.

Titles to check

• Gulliver (1977) IMDb
• Blaues Blut (1990 TV mini-series) Ep. 9: "Wo der Teufel wacht". IMDb as Puchol (should be credited as "José Espinosa Contreras")

No way José

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

• Deseo carnal (1978) IMDb with no role. There is a "José C. Espinosa" credited, but there is no sign of José or any other dwarf actors, so it presumably belongs to another actor.
