Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Luis Miguel Arranz

 [These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Back in the early sixties, the streets of the Madrid neighborhood of Cuatro Caminos saw little Luis Miguel play and dream of glory in the squares like the one achieved in his three outings on the shoulders of Las Ventas. Fortunately, good fans can still enjoy today with their two-handed flags, the requiebros of their mounts ... And who knows how many afternoons of success still await him. He fulfilled his dream and works as a rejoneador and that has allowed him to become a remarkable horseman who has starred in over 60 films and television series as a rider and stuntman. His film career began in 1963 where he appeared as a child actor as Jeff as a child in “Gunfight at High Noon” starring Richard Harrison, Robert Hundar and Fernando Sancho. As an adult he refined his riding skills and worked as a rejoneador (a bullfighter on horseback). This led to more film work as a stuntman and rider.

His Euro-westerns include appearances in five films as a stuntman.

Luis is still active today supplying films with horses that he trains and also heads a team of stuntmen and riders.
