From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Alfredo Landa Areitio (born March 3, 1933) was born on Pamplona, Navarra (Spain).

He finished his pre-university studies on San Sebastián. He then began university studies on Law, where he began to work on university school groups. He left university to work in the theater.

In the 1950s, he worked as a dubbing actor for a short time.

In 1962, he debued in the cinema.

Dictator Francisco Franco died on 1975 and, after that, censorship began to disappear. This caused a growth of sexual comedies on Spanish cinema. Landa became the "sexual repressed" of that trend, specially under directors Mariano Ozores and Pedro Lazaga. He even created his own trend, that some people call landismo.

Afterwards, with the stabilization of Spanish cinema, Landa changed his image, acting other roles much more deep, like his bandit in El Bosque Animado. A dramatic actor, he is now widely recognized.
