Black-haired, charismatic Spanish leading man with flashing smile, a star of paella/spaghetti westerns and action spectaculars who also directed a few of his own films.

Sabata Will Return (1972), A Noose is Waiting for You, Trinity (1972), The Supermen of the West (1973) and Sons of Scaramouche (1974), his last, which he also wrote and directed. In 1975, he gave up films and moved to America, making a new career as an estate agent and land developer.
