: José Riesgo in Il mercenario (1968)

José Riesgo was a prolific small-part actor, active in Spanish and European films from the mid-1940's to the early 1980's.

I've found a number of undocumented roles for José, so it's very likely there will be more to be found, particularly background roles from the 40's and 50's. He does have quite a few credits where he does not seem to appear, but his name is rather unusual, so I don't think the usual reason of there being another actor of the same name is likely, though I can't think of any other explanation.
