José Nieto is a screen veteran of the old school with a filmography that reaches back further than most viewers remember. 23 was the age at the first credit. The bulk of the career has been spent in drama. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. In cinemas, 'Red Sun' is the work that stuck — Mexican Farmer, specifically. 'The Miracle of Marcelino' is the other credit most often cited.
