Who are Those Guys? - Luis Barboo


Luis Barboo was born on March 20, 1927 in Vigo, Pontevedra, Spain. During his acting days, which ranged from the mid-‘60s until his the mid’90s he appeared in over 135 films. He was one of the great Spanish character actors. Often seen in character roles as henchmen, townsmen, and farmers. The powerfully built actor appeared in over 40 Euro-westerns from "A Fistful of Dollars" in 1964 until "Comin’ At Ya!" in 1981. Barboo was seen but seldom heard in such westerns as "The Big Gundown" (1967), "Clint the Stranger" "Sugar Colt" and "The Ugly Ones" (1967), "The Dead are Countless" and "A Bullet for Sandoval" (1969), "Cannon for Cordoba" (1970), "Doc" and "Hannie Caulder" (1971), "Montana Trap" (1976), "China 9, Liberty 37" (1978). Barboo was also credited under the names Lew Wills, Luis Bar-Boo and Luis Baar-Boo. His agent was Aldo Sambrell’s wife Cándida López and along with another of her clients Frank Braña often appeared together in the same films. Although Luis, like Aldo and Frank, seldom lived to see the end of a film he was a mainstay of the westerns filmed in Spain during the heyday of the Spaghetti Westerns. Luis died September 30, 2001 in Madrid, Spain.
