This actor is from Queretaro, Mexico. So his name is probably:

First Name : Gilberto
Middle :
Last : Martin del Campo

Spanish naming customs are historical traditions for naming children. They are similar to those in other Spanish-speaking countries  such as Mexico, and Puerto Rico. In Spain, a person's name consists of a given name (simple or composite) followed by two family names (surnames). The first surname is usually the father's first surname, and the second the mother's first surname. In recent years, the order of the surnames can be reversed at birth if it is so decided by the parents.

In fact middle names are very rare outside US. In many countries, people have second given name, but do not use it (ex: Nicole Mary Kidman), so when we have "long" names, it is often a composed family name. Of course, this can't be a general rule... but in this case, I'm quite sure it is probably not Gilberto Martin// del Campo (generally, composed given names are linked : Jean-Paul, Hans-Christian, Anna-Maria... but not always for Spanish or Mexican names : Gian Maria)
