José García López (3 May 1903 – 10 August 1982), better known as José Nieto, was a Spanish actor. He appeared in more than one hundred films from 1925 to 1983.
Biography José Nieto (stage name) made his film debut in Florián Rey El Lazarillo de Tormes, released in 1925. He appeared in eight other Spanish Silent films, the last of which was released in 1929.
His first four talking films, released in 1931 and 1932, were American productions by 20th Century Studios, shot in Hollywood, Los Angeles in Spanish. Let us mention Cuerpo y alma by David Howard (director) (1931), the simultaneous English version of which is Body and Soul (1931 film) by Alfred Santell.
He subsequently contributed to numerous foreign films and co-productions shot entirely or partially in his native country, such as Robert Vernay Andalousie (a French-Spanish film from 1951, starring Luis Mariano and Carmen Sevilla), King Vidor's Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (American film, 1959, starring Yul Brynner and Gina Lollobrigida), and Orson Welles Falstaff (Spanish-Swiss film, 1965, starring the director in the title role, John Gielgud, and Jeanne Moreau).
Among his Spanish films are Carlos Saura's El jardín de las delicias (The Garden of Delights, 1970, starring José Luis López Vázquez and Esperanza Roy). The last of his 145 films (including several spaghetti westerns) was Polvos mágicos by José Ramón Larraz (starring Alfredo Landa and Carmen Villani), an Italian-Spanish co-production released in 1983, the year after his death.
On Television, José Nieto appeared in nine series between 1966 and 1979. The first two are American, including I Spy (1965 TV series) (one episode, 1967).
