Castells, José

[PeplumParadise]

José Castells in La reina del Tabarín (1960)

José Castells was a background actor, active in Spanish films at least from the mid-1940's to mid-1960's.

No biographical details are currently known.

I managed to identify him from his credited appearance in La estatua, where the credits are in order of appearance and where his name appears there is no other actor it could apply to. I then confirmed his ID from 3 further credited roles. He has 2 IMDb profiles, the second as "José Castell", which is how he was credited on 2 occasions. He also has 2 production credits as property master in films where he appears, but is uncredited as actor.
