José Vivó

José Vivó (19 May 1917 – 26 July 1989) was a Spanish television, theater and film actor.

He studied engineering, but the Spanish Civil War forced him to leave his studies unfinished. He fought on the side of the Republican army and at the end of the conflict, he devoted himself fully to the world of acting. His career began in the theater in 1946. In 1950 he moved to Madrid where he remained for the rest of his professional life.

Among his most notable films are: Bienvenido Mister Marshall (1953), La venganza de Don Mendo (1961), Las Ibéricas F.C. (1971), Ana y los lobos (1973), Las largas vacaciones del 36 (1976), Mamá cumple cien años (1979), El crimen de Cuenca (1980), Asesinato en el Comité Central (1982), El Sur (1983), El caballero del dragón (1985) and El Lute (camina o revienta) (1987).

He also worked extensible on the theater, but it was for his appearances in television where he became best known. He began his career on TV since the start of this medium in Spain in the 1950s, taking part in a great number of programs until shortly before his death.
