Parra, Víctor

(1920-1994)

   Víctor Parra was, along with David Silva, one of director Alejandro Galindo's favorite actors. Parra often had unsympathetic roles, but was occasionally given leads, as in Los Fernández del Peralvillo, for which he won the Best Actor Ariel; he also won Best Male Co-Star Arieles for El muchacho alegre and Angeles del arrabal. When the América studios opened in 1957, Parra was chosen to run the operation on a day-to-day basis. He continued to appear in films from time to time until 1965.
