Cazalilla, Juan

: Juan Cazalilla in Trampa para Catalina (1963)

Juan Cazalilla was a small-part actor, active in Spanish films from the late 1940's to late 1970's.

He was born Juan Cazalilla Aranda in Madrid on August 6th 1915, the son of parents Julio and Dolores. He was married to Amalia O' Kelly Gómez de Salazar.[1]

Before commencing his acting career he was an official in the Ministry of the Navy and was tried for treason in 1938, but the case was dismissed in January 1939.

His known acting career commenced in 1949 and by the mid-50's he was one of the most in-demand bit-part players in Spanish films. His career slowed somewhat in the 70's, with his final known appearance coming in 1981.

Juan died in Madrid on July 22nd 1991, aged 75.

I have found a few undocumented appearances for Juan, so it is very possible there will be more. Like most Spanish actors with large filmographies, he has a number of credits in films where he does not seem to appear.

Neutralidad (1949) as Ship passenger at the party.

Someone posted in the comments on EdCE that he should appear in this specific role. He does not appear obviously, but I do think this could be him in the background. In the rather soft prints currently available it is too unclear to say if it is him for sure, but he may be more identifiable if the film should appear in HD.
