Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Felipe Álvarez

[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.]

“Felipe Álvarez was a background actor, active in Spanish films at least from the mid-1950's to the mid-1970's.

Álvarez has only two credited roles. In the first of these, “Aquí están las vicetiples”, he has a quite substantial speaking role and should certainly be credited. “El hombre del expreso de Oriente”, where he has a small speaking role with a couple of lines. It's not a large role, but Alvarez is credited second from last in a fairly lengthy cast list and in a film where Agustin Bescos is credited for just walking through a door it should be enough to get him credited.

While it is impossible to be absolutely certain of the identification from the information available, with the one role where he almost certainly must be credited and a second credited speaking role to back this up, I do think the following list of credits are accurate. There most likely others that have been missed.” – Thrilling Forum
