September 19, 1915 Rafael Gomez Valdes Angelin, customs agent, and Guadalupe Castle, housewife, they had to German Genaro Cipriano Valdes Castle, German Valdes "Tin Tan", the second son of a numerous family constituted by nine brothers. In the capital I carry out their primary studies. From child was always mischievous, restless and with a great humor. The spark of German I inherit it of its mother which always I am characterized for its simpatia.
When tapeworm 10 anuses its father was transferred to Veracruz, where German knows the sea, alli lived 2 anuses. Subsequently, in 1927 its family travels to be installed in City Juarez, Chihuahua, in the border with United States, alli study its secondary one. Friend of the fancy-dresser makes, that is to say, the youths that given the cercania U.S., habian adopted a form to speak combining the espanol with words of English and utilizing a clothing very caracteristica: eccentric clothes, very wide flaps, large bags, two-tone shoes, pants with Valencian of pipe, clocks of hanging chain almost to the flat and hats of wide wing with a feather of peacock. These personages impressed to German, so much asi that I adopt them inside their espectaculo anuses despues. German learns quickly the English which its start in the labor world facilitates him as guides turistico, visiting constantly Los Angeles and San Francisco. Subsequently, it given that German abandons the secondary one without finalizing it, its father worries about the future that German should have, is because of it that recommends its friend Pedro Meneses that him of a work in the radio station of its property XEJ, in 1934 enters to work in various positions as office helper, sweeper and assistant. Alli, in this radio station, itself daria the opportunity to bring to light its capacity histrionica.
A day Pedro Meneses sends him to fix a microfono that tapeworm danado in the estacipn, Germán to test it begins to do imitations and improvisations without being given account that was al air, among them I imitate to Agustin Lara; the senor Meneses I listen him with I please and him promovio to commentator. Their intense green eyes, their mustache al style Clark Gable, their personality, their charisma and their exito rising they opened him step with the women, who they besieged it. In 1937 marries with Mary magdalene Martinez, with whom had to its primogenito German. The father of German is transferred to Laredo, nevertheless, German decides to remain in City Juarez with its family, since included a work to settle it. The ship of illusions, the radial program in which worked was all an exito, interpreted al sailor Tobías, alternating with Pedro Meneses, doing imitations of personalities of the moment. Ademas toward tambien commercial in English. In 1938, Pedro Meneses decides to create a personage called Vole Covers, to represent al Mexican that is found in the United States, who would interpret it serious German. For it, Meneses I buy him a suit of fancy-dresser, like the ones that German habia had as the friends years before.
To the estacion radial arrives to be presented in the theater study the compania of Jorge Maulmer and its half a brother Edmundo Hernandez Gijon, but known as the Paco Miller, the ventrilocuo that believe Mr. Castle. Said compania incluia among its distribution to Lard Beard and to Mark it Chavez, the first one itself convertiria in great friend of German and the second in the Carnal one Mark it, the inseparable couple of German in the spectacle. Paco Miller itself fixed in the work of German and proposes him to go of tour as Vole you Cover, which do not I report him neither money, neither exito.German has to adopt another name artistico different al of Vole Covers for enter not conflict with a couple of humorists known like Forms and Voles, is asi that by suggestion of Jorge Maulmer changes its name by Tin So. In principle said name was not of the I please of German, although I accept it and with the time realized that was not an equivocacion take.November first of 1943 itself announcement in the periodicos of the capital the compania of Maulmer and Miller, in which they figured Agustin Lara, Miguelito Valdes, the Panchita, Sister Nacho, Mercy Caraza, The Skulls, Maria Victory, Lard Beard and Tin So, That itself seems nobody, new ace of the theater in Mexico". Its salary was then of daily 40 pesos. The I gave 5 I am started the season in the Iris Hope theater and the 12 of the same month I am incorporated al team Mario Dark Cantinflas, what permitio to rise the entrances. The 22, Valdes I begin to work in the XEW, a program called Sandwiches in a good mood. December 12, al to finish the season in the theater Iris, immediately was hired to be presented in the Follies and then in The Patio, the most important nocturnal center of the anuses 40.
Mark it and German they are presented in "The Patio" where its espectaculo is seen for Rene Cardona who invites them to participate in the pelicula "Hotel of Summer" which already was in full filming and where harian a pequena participacion for 350 pesos, an I talk of fancy-dresser, being this the door for a long film career. Very good roles came, other not so much, but was in 1945 when did its first starring role in "The disobedient son", of Humberto Gomez Landero, who it dirigio tambien in "With the musica inside" (1946), "The boy lost" (1947) and "Musico, poet and crazy" (1947). In that epoca associated with Carlos V. Salazar and Antonio Sources, founded the business Tin So Films, S. of R. L.
Despite that its style tintanesco in the I publish I carry it al exito, on the part of the criticos recibio hard you criticize, especially by its way to speak, nevertheless this not achievement to stop its career. The relacion with Mary magdalene Martinez begins to be deteriorated on account of the presentations, the tours, the long days of grabacion, but the relacion with its son German became each time but narrow, the two were separated for nothing neither by nobody. A dancer calls its atencion, its name was Micaela steep Slopes (called it Micky or The Fancy-dresser one) with which marries in 1948 after being divorced of Mary magdalene Martínez. In 1948 it did Calabacitas tender directed by Gilberto Martinez Solar with whom carries its style humoristico al maximo that exhibio in "I Am corrupt of coat", "do Not defend me godfather", "Sinbad the queasy one" and "The king of the neighborhood", in this finalizes is consecrated.

His peliculas were not alone hits in Mexico but also to Latin-American level.
In 1949 it is born its second son Javier, subsequently nacerian Olga and Genaro to enlarge the family Valdes steep Slopes. Undisciplined, unpunctual, parrandero, disorganized, but at the same time intelligent, I open up, improvisador natural-born, happy, simpatico, kind, generous, very industrious and professional. When the recordings by their fault were delayed, in little time managed to put al I gave and but even, to advance work. Toward in the peliculas genial improvisations, acting and dancing leaving the libretto with talent.
It liked to live well, surrounded by luxuries, not alone for the, but for its family, its generosity not tapeworm limit. On the way out of its work its fanatics they besieged it among which habian many you needed, to which Tin So helped without any contraprestacion neither to boast al respect. The jewels they fascinated him, the cars especially the Cadillacs. Since one of its fondnesses was to go al sea, I buy a property in Acapulco, where went very followed to stroll in its yachts: Tintavento I, II and III. the first one I burn itself, the second I crash itself during a huracan against a newsstand and the third itself hundio in the spring of Icacos. In spite of carrying very good life always I instill in its children the simplicity that always characterize so that itself not him to rise the exito to the head to its children. Its family was always important for the, so much asi that achievement enrolar in the movies to their brothers Manuel "The lunatic" and Ramon "Mr. Ramon" to which supported, he advised and ensenaba the best of the so that its interpretations were extraordinary.
It carries the record of kisses in films with the women but beautiful of Mexico, none remained without the kiss of Tin So. So many coqueteos and amorios helped to finish the marriage with Micaela until finally they are separated. In 1953 it opens the nocturnal center The Satelite with their associate Mark it, in which they acted. Mark it not alone was the composer of the songs, tambien toward the librettos and was the manager of the place, but when himself to stopped presenting for going of tour, the place failure.
He meets again with Rosalia Julian, one of the sisters Julian marrying her in March of 1956, they had two children: Rosalia and Carlos, this union marital did full to Tin So, nevertheless had to be moved away to be gone of tour around five anuses, since the decadence cinematografica obliged it to seek but incomes by other ways, doing presentations going of tour. After this time not resistio to be but far away of Rosalia and volvio, but to compensate the incomes that to stopped winning to traves of the presentations had to accept as much as role him ofrecian for peliculas, I arrive the point in which five they premiered themselves peliculas theirs at the same time. At the end of the 60 I embody two personages that immortalized it: the voice of the bear Balu in the pelicula The book of the forest and the cat OR' Malley in The aristogatos, both peliculas of Walt Disney, for which I am presented to audicion, winning the roles with an extensive margin on their competitors. In the decade of the 70 accepted secondary roles, is as well as worked in the series Chanoc, The increible professor Zovek, the dispute and Night of death.
