Juan Antonio Amigo was a Spanish film and TV actor using the name Juan Amigo. Never a leading actor still he was a good looking guy who appeared in over 30 film and television programs between 1962 and 1979. Two of his films were Spaghetti westerns with an actual credited character of George Dekovan/Di Koven/Cogan depending on which release you have for 1972’s “Tequila” starring Anthony Steffen. His other appearance was in 1973’s “The 3 Musketeers of the West” starring Timothy Brent and George Eastman.

Juan Amigo's last name in Spanish means "friend" so I guess if he wanted to he could have called himself "Johnny Friend". I can just imagine it now. "Hey boy, what do you go by where you come from?" And he says, "They call me Mr. Friend". If he was voted the best in high school he would be "Best Friend". And if someone accused him of something, somebody would say "Who, Johnny? Not MY Friend." Hey, I was just thinking. That would make a GREAT name for a Spaghetti Western movie. "Johnny Friend." "His people called him Juan Amigo. His mother called him Johnny. But you will call him....Johnny Friend". Juan Amigo. Literally Johnny Friend. Great actor. Cool name.
