Miguel Inclán(1897-1956)
- Actor
Miguel Inclan was a popular villain of Mexican cinema from the 1930s
into the 1950s, although he also had some sympathetic roles, notably as
the kindly policeman in
Les Bas-fonds de Mexico (1949) and several
appearances as Benito Juárez. Inclán came from a theatrical family and
started out working in the carpa theatres (he later bought a theatre
with his film earnings and put his extended family to work in it). His
son Miguel Inclán García also had a
long career as an actor, although mostly on the stage. Other relatives
of Inclán who made their mark in the entertainment industry are his
grand-nephew Rafael Inclán,
Raúl 'Chato' Padilla and
Alfonso Zayas.
