José Asunción Martínez Sancho (11 November 1944 – 3 March 2013) better known as José Sancho or Pepe Sancho, was a Spanish actor. Over a period of fifty years he appeared extensively in Spanish television and films. He was perhaps best known internationally for his roles in Pedro Almodóvar's films Live Flesh and Talk to Her.
Sancho was born in Manises (Valencia), Spain, in 1944. He married and divorced twice the singer María Jiménez (with whom he had a son named Alejandro) and, after his second divorce with Jiménez, he married journalist Reyes Monforte, from 2006 until the death of the actor in 2013.
He was a cousin of the Spanish Socialist Party politician Antoni Asunción.
Sancho died March 3, 2013 in Valencia after a long illness. He was 68 years old.
Sancho's first film role was when he was aged just four in Si te hubieses casado conmigo (1948), directed by Victor Tourjansky. He became popular thanks to his role as The Student, in Televisión Española series Curro Jiménez (1977–1978), directed by Pilar Miró, Mario Camus, Antonio Drove, Rafael Romero Marchent, Francisco Rovira Beleta and others.
Almost twenty years after that work, he returned to star in another television series, Carmen y familia (1995), together with Beatriz Carvajal and his former partner in Curro Jiménez, Álvaro de Luna. One year later, he joined up with Rocío Dúrcal in Los negocios de mamá (1997), also for television.
