Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Tabaré Carballo

[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.]

Tabaré Carballo was born in Montevideo, Uruguay on February 4, 1960. He studied acting at the Buenos Aires Theater Institute and moved to Argentina to pursue his dreams. Shortly after finishing his studies, he landed his first role in the Argentine television series ‘El Marginal’. Since then, he has appeared in several films and television series in Latin America. He also taught Muy Thai martial arts.

Five years after beginning his acting career, Carballo was nominated for the Martín Fierro Award for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in ‘El Marginal’. This nomination gave Carballo the opportunity to leave Uruguay and establish himself as an international actor. Since then, he has appeared in numerous film and television productions.

In 2013 Carballo was at a self-serve gas station when he witnessed two men robbing the attendant. He intervened and one of the thieves took a shot at Tabaré. Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously injured as the bullet ricocheted off his head.

Carballo performed stunts in 1984’s “Rustler’s Rhapsody” with Tom Berenger and Andy Griffith and from 1990-1993 he appeared as Private Sepulveda/Corporal Sepulveda and a villager in the ‘New Zorro’ TV series starring Duncan Regehr.
