Gómez Urtiaga, Manuel

Manuel Gómez Urtiaga in Las Vegas, 500 millones (1968)

Manuel Gómez Urtiaga was primarily a background actor, active in Spanish films at least throughout the 1960's to the mid-1970's, with 2 production credits in the early 1980's.

No biographical details are currently known. With several spellings of his name and no 2 credits the same of the 4 found so far, it's hard to know what best to call him, so I've gone with the name used by IMDb for now.

With 9 background roles already saved, I got lucky spotting him in a small speaking role in Las últimas horas…, and was able to confirm his identity through credited roles in De cuerpo presente and Chicas del club (where he is credited playing a specific role despite only appearing fleetingly and not speaking). These were 3 of only 7 credits listed on IMDb.

Los económicamente débiles (1960) as Wrestling spectator

[PeplumParadise]

El espontáneo (1964) as Man in the crowd, in the centre in the white shirt

[PeplumParadise]

El divino impaciente (1966 TV movie) credited as "Manuel Gomez Urteaga". From his positioning in the "in order of appearance" credits, I suppose this has to be him on the left as a Beggar, but it's rather hard to be sure so I'm putting it as an uncertain identification.

Las últimas horas… (1966) credited as "Manuel Urteaga", as Pablo

[PeplumParadise]

Custer of the West (1967) as Soldier at the docks

[PeplumParadise]

De cuerpo presente (1967) credited as "Manuel G. Urtiaga", as Police interrogator

[PeplumParadise]

Las Vegas, 500 millones (1968) as Sheriff

[PeplumParadise]

Chicas de club (1970) credited, but barely seen, as Susana's father.

While he is barely seen and doesn't speak, he is credited here in this specific role, so this nevertheless confirms his identification.
