Cris Huerta

Actor · Died November 28, 2004, aged 69 · Lisbon, Portugal

Cris Huerta started with a small part in a mythological "peplum" made in Italy, and went on doing typically fat, dirty, bad guys in "spaghetti westerns", up to Alfredo Mayo's Sabata the Killer (1970). He can be seen in the unforgettable French western by Christian-Jaque, The Legend of Frenchie King (1971). In Storia di karatè, pugni e fagioli (1973) he and Dean Reed will play a pair of bandits in the fashion of the Italian predecessor team of Terence Hill, the lean, hunky bandit, and Bud Spencer - Cris Huerta's fat, ugly brawler. He is the Priest in The City of Lost Children (1995), in the horror genre, in a varied and long career not unlike that of Fernando Sancho. He has a few TV appearances, early in his career, and then after 1997's in a series for Spanish television.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
