Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Félix Briones, Félix Briones Jr.
[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.]
The Spanish actor and his son are not to be confused with the more famous father and son matadors of the same name. According to the Diccionario del cine Español Félix Briones Hernandez was born in Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain in 1895 and started his film career in 1945. His first credited role was in the 1948 film “Aventuras de don Juan de Mairena” in the role of El Rojo. He’d go on to appear in over 60 films ending with a role in the 1961 film “Fantasmas en la casa” as the sale owner.
His only appearance in a Euro-western was in the three-part film “Tres eran tres” (Three Were Three) in the segment “Una de indios” (One of the Indians) in an uncredited role.
