Víctor Israel

Biography

Víctor Israel was a Spanish actor who built a long career on character parts, appearing in more than 200 productions between 1961 and 2008. Born José María Soler Vilanova in 1929 to Catalan parents, he studied commerce alongside psychology, philosophy, languages and music before training in dramatic arts at Julio Coll and Fernando Espona's acting studio and the Theater Institute. He made his film debut in 1961 in Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi's A Land for All and went on to appear in over 140 films, often horror and westerns and usually in supporting parts. His distinctive looks suited mysterious and untrustworthy characters. His workload declined in the 1980s, but Catalan directors later brought him back before the cameras. On television he appeared in the 1979 series Doctor Caparrós, medicina general with Joan Capri. In 2006 the Sitges Film Festival gave him the Brigadoon Nosferatu honorary award. He died on September 19, 2009.
