Actor · Died November 21, 2015, aged 86 · Gijón, Asturias, Spain

Germán Horacio Robles (born March 20, 1929 in Gijón, Asturias, Spain) was a Spanish-Mexican film, theater, television, and voice actor. He came to Mexico when he was 17, after Spain’s civil war.

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.
