**Miguel Inclán** (1898-1956) was an iconic Mexican actor of the Golden Age of national cinema. His robust figure and expressive face made him famous in roles as common men, peasants, dignified indigenous people, or authoritarian and sometimes brutal figures.

A frequent collaborator of Emilio "El Indio" Fernández, he shone in pivotal films such as *María Candelaria* (1943) and *Río Escondido* (1947), often alongside Dolores del Río and Pedro Armendáriz. His most renowned international performance is perhaps that of the deaf-mute in Luis Buñuel's *Los Olvidados* (1950), where his screen presence was magnetic.

Inclán embodied a part of Mexico's rural and suffering soul, leaving an indelible mark thanks to his deep voice and imposing dramatic ability.
