Julio César Castro

Julio César Castro, also known as Juceca (Montevideo, 6 May 1928 – Ib., 11 September 2003) was a Uruguayan comedian, narrator, actor and dramatist. He was mainly known by his character Don Verídico, with which he developed a particular type of absurd humour tied to the rural world.

His stories were also made famous in Argentina, thanks to the humorist Luis Landriscina.
