: Luciano Díaz in Historias de la radio (1955)

Luciano Díaz was a small-part and background actor, who also has credits as production assistant and property master. He was active in Spanish films at least from the mid-1930's to early 1960's.

No biographical details are currently known.

It looks like he only has 10 credits as an actor, all in very small roles, plus an equal number of production credits which I will list separately.

I already had Luciano saved as a potential generico in 5 films before I identified him, only 2 of which matched with the 17 roles listed by IMDb, so there is a strong probability that there are further roles to be found. Since starting the topic I have found quite a few undocumented roles, with it becoming clear he worked regularly as a background actor.
