Unidentified actors

Unidentified credited actors
  • Vicente Martín - The only other film where he is credited is Mr. Arkadin, but I don't see any obvious matches and there are too many unidentified actors in that film to narrow it down.
  • Antonio Morales - He has one other credit on IMDb without role. I will be making a topic for that film fairly soon, so he may be identifiable then, but for now he remains unidentified.
  • Emilio Móstoles - He has no other known credits.
  • José Luis Navarro - He worked mostly as a writer, this is his only known acting credit.

Of the 5 remaining unidentified credited actors, the only one with any credits on IMDb from which he could be identified is Juan García Delgado.

He has 2 other credited acting roles, both listed with roles on IMDb. After searching for the wrong man due to one of those identifications being incorrect, I now have him identified in the 2 other films.

I have little doubt that this is him below. Any opinions welcomed.

Added, thank you.

I guess since I have his only 3 credited roles identified I may as well give him a topic, chances are there will probably be some uncredited roles to find.

Clearly the same guy. With such a name, he is perhaps also one of the "Juan García"s or "Juan Delgado"s.

That is probable, they are both very common Spanish names. We don't currently have any unidentified actors with those names, but I'm sure there are plenty of them.
