The actor Manuel Gallardo has died on Friday at the age of 85 in Madrid, according to the Union of Actors and Actresses in his Twitter account. Throughout a long career, he became one of the best-known interpreters in Spanish theater, as well as being famous for television series such as Verano azul. On stage, he played all kinds of roles, from Jason to Julius Caesar. He also worked in the cinema, where he made his debut with the film Tierra de todos, by Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi, and later he participated in more than 40 films, between Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom.

Born in Cardeña (Córdoba), in 1935, it is said that he made his debut on the stage with only 15 days, in the arms of his mother. In any case, since the mid-sixties, he was a practically constant presence both on stage and on the small screen, where he often performed precisely televised plays, in spaces such as Estudio 1, Teatro de siempre, Ficciones or Novela.

Among the best-known films in which he appeared are La casa del lago, Soraya queen of the desert, The brute, the clever and the captain, The hundred knights, The last Mrs. Anderson, Saturday, Sunday and Friday or The things of love.
