Who Are Those Guys - Ángel Álvarez

Ángel Álvarez was born Ángel Álvarez Fernández on September 26, 1906 in Madrid, Spain. He was a prolific character actor in Spanish films making over 200 film appearances beginning in 1945 and ending in the early 1980s. I first became aware of him in 1966’s “Django”, where he played the saloon keeper Nathaniel. He’s also has a fairly large role in 1966’s “Navajo Joe” as Oliver Blackwood. He has many memorable appearances in the Spaghetti Western genre although most are small cameos or character roles as storekeepers, bank managers and townsman. Ángel Álvarez died on December 13, 1983 in Madrid at the age of 77.
