: Ángel Álvarez in Réquiem para el gringo (1968)

Ángel Álvarez was a small-part character actor, active in Spanish and European films from 1943 until his death 40 years later.

He was born Ángel Alvarez Fernández on September 26th 1906 in Madrid, Spain.[1]

He reportedly started out as an assistant director and screen writer, though if he has any credits in these fields they are unknown. Following the civil war he switched his attentions to acting, initially working in the theatre, where he also worked as a writer and song lyricist.

He began his career as a screen actor in 1943, at the age of 37, and, following a slow start, by the mid-50's he became one of the most prolific small-part character actors in Spanish cinema - something he maintained up until his death - most often cast as priests, barmen, porters, shopkeepers and villagers.

Ángel died in Madrid on December 13th 1983, at the age of 77.
