: Santiago Rivero in Mensajeros de paz (1957)

Santiago Rivero was a small-part actor, active in Spanish films from the early 1940's to the early 1980's.

He was born Santiago Rivero Marrero in Arucas, Gran Canaria in 1917 (date unknown).[1]

He obtained a scholarship to study acting on the Spanish mainland and, settling in Madrid, he began working as a stage actor and dubbing artist, with his earliest known dubbing credit voicing Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan in Tarzan and his Mate (1934). He would remain active in dubbing until the start of the 1960's (and would continue dubbing his own roles into the 70's), and would be the Spanish voice of actors such as Laurence Olivier, Cary Grant and Charles Boyer. Spanish dubbing website eldoblaje.com lists around 280 dubbing credits, though it should be noted that in 1/3 of those he was dubbing himself.

He made his film debut in front of the camera in 1942. From that point he remained very busy as a screen actor in small roles until his death 40 years later.

No details of his personal life are known.

Santiago died in Madrid on August 5th 1982, aged 64 or 65.

I have found a few undocumented roles for Santiago, so there will probably be more.
