	Actors - Fernando Sancho

Fernando Sancho (born January 7, 1916; died July 31, 1990) was a Spanish actor. Sancho was born in Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain, and died in Madrid after surgery.

He was often typecast as a Mexican bandit in paella and spaghetti westerns, several of which were directed or produced by Ignacio F. Iquino and sometimes starred Richard Harrison. He also appeared in a number of Spanish horror movies in the 60's and 70's. One of the better known horror parts was the role of a corrupt small town mayor in El Ataque de los Muertos sin Ojos AKA Return of the Blind Dead, directed by Amando de Ossorio. Another notable horror film was Orloff and the Invisible Man (1971), directed by Pierre Chevalier and starring Howard Vernon, an unofficial continuation of the Dr. Orloff saga begun by Jess Franco in The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962).

Sancho had a very prolific career and remained active in film up to his death. He made larger than life characters his specialty, and according to some people he worked with, his off screen persona was equally extravagant.
