: Emilio Espinosa in La familia Colón (1967 TV series)

Emilio Espinosa was a small-part actor, active in Spanish films at least from the start of the 1960's to late 1970's.

No biographical details are currently known. IMDb has him listed as "Emilio S. Espinosa", but he was only credited with the initial on two occasions.

IMDb and EdCE both list one title from 1940 which is impossible to find. Other than that his known film career commences in 1959 when he was obviously already quite mature, and from then his credited roles were steady, but hardly prolific, with his final appearances coming in 1977.

I first identified him playing the husband of Juanita Jiménez in 2 films and since she was credited in both of those I was able to identify him too. It could turn out he was also a background actor - time will tell.

Titles to check

Mauricio o Una víctima del vicio (1940) IMDb, also known as La cortina verde
El avispero (1976) IMDb
El hombre que supo amar (1976) IMDb as Prior Guadalupe. I didn't find him after several searches, but my copy is quite dark so I may have missed him and the closing credits were cut so I can't say if he is credited.

No Emilio!

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

Corazón solitario (1972) EdCE. Not credited and not found after several searches.

Melocotón en almíbar (1960) credited, as Jeweller

Historia de una noche (1962) credited, as Station master.

IMDb says he should play this role and I didn't find him elsewhere in the film. The only role I found who could maybe fit this description is the actor on the right, but while it is a speaking role he is only seen from behind, so I am putting it as an uncertain identification.
