Born Leopoldo de Anchóriz Fustel in Almeria, Spain on September 22, 1932. He was friends with director, screenwriter José María Forqué and Jaime de Armiñán with whom he either collaborated on screenplays with or acted under. He entered films in the late 1950s and acted until the late 1970s making over three dozen appearances on film and TV. Although he would play various characters during his Spaghetti Western career, he was best as a villain resembling a Mexican Frank Wolff. One third of his films were Spaghetti Westerns yet I feel he could have been used in even more films as he had a great screen presence. Anchóriz was only 54 when he passed away on February 17, 1987 in Madrid, Spain.ANCHORIZ, Leo (aka Leo Anchoris) (Leopardo de Anchóriz Fustel) [9/22/1929, Almeria, Andalucía, Spain – 2/17/1987, Madrid, Madrid, Spain] – screenwriter.
