Trivia

Found out he had cancer during the production of From Russia with Love (1963). The schedule of production was altered so he could finish his scenes before his death. He wanted to finish the movie so his family could receive his salary.

Member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1961

Even though he played several rude, fierce and uncouth characters, he was a very refined person. He was very fluent in English (he had to enhance his Mexican accent in some roles he had to play).

Was one of 91 people, along with John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and Agnes Moorehead, whose cancer was attributed to their exposure to radioactivity while working on the film The Conqueror (1956).

It`s important to note that his self-inflicted gunshot suicide was prompted by his impending slow death from cancer, something he obviously wished to avoid.

Died of self-inflicted gunshot wound in Los Angeles.
