Augusto Benedico is the sort of actor who arrived well before the current crop and stayed. Playing Dr. Carlos Conde in 'The Exterminating Angel' put him in front of the widest audience of the career. He appears in 'Carrusel' too. The filmography reaches back well before the best-known title. More of the credits fall under comedy than under anything else. Work has kept arriving for 77 years, which is its own kind of achievement.
