Jorge Rivero(I)
- Actor
- Producer
Very handsome and muscular Mexican leading man,
on-screen from the mid-1960s. Ironically, in his debut film he played a
masked wrestler and his face was never shown. Rivero soon became a sex
symbol and a major box-office star, and was called by Hollywood to star
with John Wayne in Howard Hawks's Rio Lobo (1970). Since the 1980s he has worked only
occasionally in Mexican films and soap operas -- he has lived in
Southern California for more than a decade -- but shows up in
international productions, sometimes billed as "George
Rivero."
