Alvaro de Luna

Born in the capital of Spain on April 10, 1935,  Álvaro de Luna Blanco  studied Medicine, practicing his profession for five years in France, North Africa, Yugoslavia and Italy. But later, he preferred to opt for becoming a stuntman, even dubbing Kirk Douglas in some dangerous scene from  Spartacus . Already as an interpreter, he gives  Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi a small role  in  La máscara de Scaramouche , from 1963, the year in which he also appears very briefly in  El verdugo , by  Luis García Berlanga . Due to his talent for shooting action sequences, a good number of spaghetti-westerns shot in Almería followed, such as  Los cuatreros, Challenge at Rio Bravo , Navajo Joe,  Relentless Joe ,  Wages to Kill ,  Minnesota Clay , Adventures in the West , and  The Yuma Outlaws , some adventure film, such as  Captain Blood’s Son , starring  Sean Flynn , son of the interpreter original,  Errol Flynn , and some comedy, like  The ones that have to serve .

Popularity would come thanks to  Álvaro de Luna  thanks to the small screen series  Curro Jiménez , which the public channel broadcast between 1976 and 1978. He played Algarrobo, one of the inseparable henchmen of the leading bandit. From that moment he became a luxury guest for popular series, such as  La barraca ,  Farmacia de guardia  and very recently  Águila roja  and  I know who you are . He returned to his most famous character in the unfortunate  Curro Jiménez, the return of a legend , from 1995. In the last years of his career, he appeared in feature films such as  Carol’s trip , or  Broken silence. She also lavished a lot on the theater, for example in 2014 she triumphed at the Fine Arts in Madrid, with  El hijo de la novia , based on the film by  Juan José Campanella .
