Carlos Riquelme studied law and philosophy, but turned to acting and
made his stage debut in the mid-1930s. His first screen appearance
followed in 1938. Riquelme's meek looks somewhat typecast him as clerks
and doctors in his earlier pictures, but from time to time he was given
change-of-pace roles, such as the mad doctor in
The Body Snatcher (1957).
Later he would specialize in mildly distracted, fey but generally
sympathetic parts. He appeared in a number of international productions
such as
Under the Volcano (1984) and
The Milagro Beanfield War (1988),
and also did considerable TV dubbing and radio work. He received a Best
Actor Ariel nomination for
En la tormenta (1982) and a
nomination as Best Suppporting Actor for
El joven Juárez (1954).
