Luis Lorenzo (Madrid, July 23, 1943) is a Spanish actor.

He started acting in plays such as an adaptation of The Caucasian Chalk Circle in 1971, but he is more famous for playing the antagonistic role of "Don Menudillo" in the Spanish TV quiz show Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez in 1977. [1]

He later appeared in cinema. His small and fragile physique led him to play shy, timid and meek characters. In theater he played roles in plays such as El lindo don Diego (1990), by Agustín Moreto. [2]

He also played episodic roles in some TV series such as Canguros or Aquí no hay quien viva (2005)

He is married with actress Luisa Armenteros.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Spanish Golden Age</span> Period of flourishing in arts and literature in Spain

The Spanish Golden Age was a period of flourishing in arts and literature in Spain, coinciding with the political rise of the Spanish Empire under the Catholic Monarchs of Spain and the Spanish Habsburgs. The greatest patron of Spanish art and culture during this period was King Philip II (1556–1598), whose royal palace, El Escorial, invited the attention of some of Europe's greatest architects and painters, such as El Greco, who infused Spanish art with foreign styles and helped create a uniquely Spanish style of painting. The period is associated with the reigns of Isabella I, Ferdinand II, Charles V, Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV, when Spain was at the peak of its power and influence in Europe and the world.

Don Juan Tenorio: Drama religioso-fantástico en dos partes is a play written in 1844 by José Zorrilla. It is the more romantic of the two principal Spanish-language literary interpretations of the legend of Don Juan. The other is the 1630 El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra, which is attributed to Tirso de Molina. Don Juan Tenorio owes a great deal to this earlier version, as recognized by Zorrilla himself in 1880 in his Recuerdos del tiempo viejo, although the author confuses de Molina with another writer of the same era, Agustín Moreto.
