Alfredo Sánchez Brell (23 February 1931 – 10 July 2010), known as Aldo Sambrell, was a Spanish actor, director, and producer who appeared in over 150 films between 1961 and 1996.
Biography
[edit]Sambrell was born in Vallecas on 23 February 1931.[1] He travelled to Mexico because his parents were exiled there, beginning a football career in Puebla F.C., where he was known as Madrileño Sánchez,[2] and also in C.F. Monterrey.[3] When he returned to Spain he played for Alcoyano and Rayo Vallecano, and finally worked as an actor.[4]
Career
[edit]Sambrell was best known in the world of cinema for his roles as henchmen in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western films, portraying gang members in the trilogy of films A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More, (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), as well as in Once Upon a Time in the West in 1968, and 100 Rifles in 1969. He also played the part of firing squad leader in A Fistful of Dynamite (1971), and a member of Sinbad's crew in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973). He also appeared alongside Jackie Chan in Armour of God 2: Operation Condor, playing a villain.
He acted in many other westerns, including Sergio Corbucci's Navajo Joe.[5] He appeared in several international productions as an extra or bit actor, including Doctor Zhivago and The Wind and the Lion.
He died in Alicante, Spain on 10 July 2010 from a cerebral infarction, at age 79,[6] the result of three strokes he suffered in early June.[7] He was cremated and his ashes were spread on Fort Bravo, Tabernas.[8][9]
He was married to Cándida López Cano, with whom he had a son, and Sergio Leone was his best man.[10]
