Adios to Tomás Picó, actor and director
Tomás Picó, actor and director, died in Tarifa (Cadiz),
victim of lymphoma after a lifetime devoted to intense appearances in front of
and behind the camera. The son of a renowned Basque architect, he opted for the
interpretation of film and debuted at Teatro Eslava Madrid in 1960, where his
gallant bearing of finesse marked him in the 1960s and 1970s. Emblematic song
titles of the youthful Luis Lucia, he leapt to fame as a child prodigy of Rocio
Durcal, in the great family of Fernando Palacios.
Other film credits are “Fulanita and Menganos” (Pedro Lazaga,
1976); “Erotic Games of the Bourgeoisie” (Micel Vianey, 1977) and
“Cariñosamente infiel” (Javier Aguirre, 1980).
In the theater he shared the stage with Pepe, Emilio
Gutiérrez Caba, Kiti Manver and Concha Velasco, and collaborated with the actor
and director Luca Ronconi in Italy where he lived for nearly a decade. Picó,
was a committed and passionate man of his profession to his beloved Tarifa, the
Teatro Municipal Hall between 1995 and 2005. He also worked with the inmates of
the prison in Algeciras. His teaching and his acting never fall was always
relevant. Too bad such genuine people find it necessary to undertake the
ultimate trip ahead of schedule and with such outstanding work.
Picó appeared in three Euro-westerns: "Mutiny at Fort Sharp" (1966), "Seven Pistols for a Massacre" (1967) and "Dead Men Ride" (1971).
