The actor was very connected to our locality, where his spouse was from and where they lived after retiring from the stage. Since very young, he was linked to the show business through his father, the actor from Zarzuela, Vicente Gómez Bur.
His first debut on stage happened at a very young age. In 1934 he staged along a group of amateurs the show “Los hijos de la noche” (The sons of the night) until, after the end of the Civil War in 1939, he finally debuted professionally in Alonso and Pepe Muñoz Román’s company as a revue dancer in “Las de Villadiego” (The ones from Villadiego).
Years went by where he would be part of Ana Adamuz’s, Conchita Montes’ and Isabel Garcés’ companies, which whom he would amass theatrical successes with, amongst which the shows “Las dos Virginias” (The two Virginias) and “Devuélveme a mi señora” (Give me my missus back) would stand out.
He would also debut on the big screen in 1951 with “Cuento de hadas” (Fairytale). This would be the start of a list that would reach near a hundred productions. He specialized in portraying a certain pure and naive type of character, which made him one of the most endearing and beloved actors in the 60’s, when the bulk of his career developed.
During those years, he would participate in the Spanish cinema most celebrated productions such as “Las chicas de la Cruz Roja” (The girls of the red cross), “El día de los enamorados” (Lovers’ day) and “Las que tienen que servir” (The ones who have to serve). In 1973 he starred in the Spanish TV series “Animales Racionales” (Rational Animals).
From that moment forth, his appearances in cinema dwindled to focus once again on his theatrical career, achieving big successes such as “La Sopera” (The Soup Woman) and “La venganza de Don Mendo” (Mr. Mendo’s Revenge). The “Diosa fortuna” (Goddess of Luck) would smile at him on the last stage of his professional career after 40 years of hard work, when he would finally retire to his house in Bailén, birthplace of his wife. The 30th of May of 1991 he passed away, accompanied on his last goodbye by colleagues like Tony Leblanc amongst others.
