Juan Diego

Name in Native Language: "Juan Diego Ruiz Moreno" (Spanish/ES)
Actor | * 12/14/1942 († 79, 04/28/2022) | Sevilla (Spain)
Juan Diego Ruiz Moreno (14 December 1942 – 28 April 2022), professionally known as Juan Diego, was a Spanish actor who appeared on stage, in television and film productions since 1957. He starred in films such as The Holy Innocents, The 7th Day, Dragon Rapide, París-Tombuctú and You're the One. Performing with a raspy voice for much of his career, he is often associated with abrupt, violent, and authoritarian roles, having a knack for nailing fascist-like characters. His most known television role was the foul-mouthed Don Lorenzo in Los hombres de Paco, popular for the idiom ¡Mis santos cojones! Also known for his left-wing political activism, Juan Diego took part in the struggle for advancing film workers' labor rights in Spain. ()
