Juan Luis Galiardo
Juan Luis Galiardo Comes (born March 2, 1940 in San Roque (Cádiz) , † June 22, 2012 in Madrid ) was a Spanish actor .
Galiardo dropped out of agricultural and engineering studies to play his first leading role in 1960. He quickly developed into one of the leading actors in Spanish and Spanish-language films; In addition to his home country, he was also often employed in Mexico, where he enjoyed an exceptional reputation. He also lived in Central America for several years before he returned to Spain in the mid-1980s and founded the production company “Penelope Films”, with which he produced El disputado voto del señor Cayo and the television series Turno de oficio in 1986 . John Echanove played in these works , with whom he entered into an artistic partnership in the following years, which also led to engagements in neighboring Portugal. Like his entire career, Galiardo repeatedly took on character portrayals in addition to leading roles. His versatility was evident in his choice of roles; he played on stage as well as for film.
Among Galiardo's numerous awards, the 2001 Spanish Goya film award for best leading actor for the film Adiós on el corazón stood out. In 1990 he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor; Another nomination followed in 2003, this time again as the leading actor (for El caballero Don Quixote ).
