Pedro de Cordoba
Biography
Pedro de Cordoba was an American actor, born in New York City, who trained in the classical theater and had an extensive silent film career even though he said he preferred the stage. He first appeared on screen in Cecil B. DeMille's Carmen (1915), after which he established himself as a Hollywood leading man. His Broadway credits included work with Jane Cowl and Katharine Cornell. In sound pictures his deep voice suited the medium, and he stayed busy as a character actor from the mid-1930s until his death. He was frequently assigned aristocratic or clerical Hispanic roles, including a role in The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), and occasionally played villains. In Alfred Hitchcock's Saboteur (1942), he played a carnival attraction known as a living skeleton, concealing a fugitive in his wagon overnight. He also acted on Broadway as Collatine in a 1932 production of Lucrece.
