It is the duty of character actors to have character.

And Tomás Sáez was a character actor.

With all that that entailed.

The unforgettable Martian Father of

'El Milagro de P. Tinto'

died on Friday, as confirmed by the Union of Actors and Actresses at the age of 66.

His face trapped in an eternal bonhomie dotted with fits of anger and an imposing mustache was for decades a regular in all successful series.

And of character.

From

'Eve and Adam.

Marriage agency

'(1990) to

'Cuéntame how it happened'

passing through

'La que se avecina'

(2009) passing through

'Manolito gafotas'

(2004),

Ala... dina'

(2001-2002) and '

Hands on '

(1998-2001).

In the cinema he could be seen in

'The Gold of Moscow

' (2003),

Elsa and Fred

(2005) and, above all, '

The Miracle of P. Tinto'

(1998).

In the latter, he was the priest in the strictest and most bizarre sense of the word.

And of course, he couldn't stand Tinto's invention of

the four-season wafer

that even the pope of Rome tried.

Great his access to his display of fury, not just anger.

Father Marciano, his mustache and his impossible bangs are three... "like the Lord, who is God and Triune."

And a dialogue to remember.


Father Marciano:

Very well, then if the Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is also God, how many gods are there in heaven, P. Tinto?


Q. Tinto:

Three?

Two?

One?

None?
