RIP Manolo Solo

 


Spanish actor and voice dubber Manolo Solo died in Madrid, Spain on July 30th. The Goya-winning actor shaped Spanish cinema with over 55 films and a unique on-screen presence. Manolo Solo, one of the most distinctive faces in Spanish cinema of the past two decades, died at the age of 62 after a prolonged illness with cancer. Known for his roles in “La isla minima”, “Tarde para la ira”, and “El buen patron”, Solo's passing marks the end of a career that left a significant mark on the industry. His real name, Manuel Jesús Fernández Serrano, rarely appeared in credits, but his stage name became synonymous with complex, layered performances that resonated with audiences and critics alike. Solo voiced several Spaghetti westerns released in Spain such as “Lucky Luke: The Daltons on the Run” in 1983 [Spanish voice of Jack Dalton] and voiced multiple characters in the 1996-2003 animated TV series “The Legend of Zorro”.
