Carlos Riquelme

'Carlos Riquelme' (qv) studied law and philosophy, but turned to acting and made his stage debut in the mid-1930s. His first screen appearance followed in 1938. Riquelme's meek looks somewhat typecast him as clerks and doctors in his earlier pictures, but from time to time he was given change-of-pace roles, such as the mad doctor in _The Body Snatcher (1957)_ (qv). Later he would specialize in mildly distracted, fey but generally sympathetic parts. He appeared in a number of international productions such as _Under the Volcano (1984)_ (qv) and _The Milagro Beanfield War (1988)_ (qv), and also did considerable TV dubbing and radio work. He received a Best Actor Ariel nomination for _En la tormenta (1982)_ (qv) and a nomination as Best Suppporting Actor for _El joven Juárez (1954)_ (qv).::A. Nonymous
