Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Fernando de Miguel

[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.] 

Fernando de Miguel is a Spanish musician and composer, often associated with the Western genre and film scores, known for arranging and rearranging iconic songs such as those of “The Good, the Bad, the Ugly by Sergio Leone His work on this film, which stars Clint Eastwood (the "Blond"), Lee Van Cleef (the "Bad") and Eli Wallach (the "Ugly"), focuses on creating orchestral versions and reinterpretations of Morricone's masterpiece.

I can find no biographical information on de Miguel to confirm this but if true his possible relationship with Morricone resulted in him being given a small part as a guard at the Betterville prison camp.

“Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo” (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) in 1965 as a Betterville Union soldier.
