"Wavy Gravy"

[PeplumParadise]

"Wavy Gravy" in Siempre es domingo (1961)

The unidentified actor known as "Wavy Gravy" (so called for his thick, wavy white hair) was a generico active in Spanish films at least from the late 1940's to the mid-1970's.

With 18 roles found to start his topic, all non-speaking background parts, he looks to have been a true Spanish generico with a lengthy and prolific career. Now with 180+ roles identified, surely he must be credited somewhere!

Titles to check

• Muchachas en vacaciones (1959) He appears as a spectator at the fashion show, but it would need an HD print to get an image where he is identifiable
• El príncipe encadenado (1960) I'm pretty sure that he appears as a courtier, but it would take at least a fairly good print to confirm the ID and get usable images
• Rosa de Lima (1961) I'm pretty sure that he appears as a spectator at the dance, but it would take at least a fairly good print to confirm the ID and get usable images
