Mejía, Alfonso

(1934 - )

   after being chosen by Luis Buñuel for a leading role in Los olvidados (for which he received the Best Child Actor Ariel), Mejía worked steadily in Mexican films over the next decade (he attended the ANDA acting school and studied with Seki Sano, after he had made Los olvidados), winning Best Juvenile Performer nominations for Padre nuestro and El túnel seis. In his thirties, Mejía retired from acting, studied International Relations, and has worked in the field of international law since then.
