Radó, Jorge

(Ivan J. Rado)

   the tall (6'3"), stern-looking Rado has worked around the world (he speaks six languages) as an actor, radio announcer, and in dubbing. His Hollywood career began in the mid-1950s, and his first "Mexican" movie was La llamada de la muerte (1959 - it was actually shot in Nicaragua). Most of Rado's Mexican movies were made in the late 1960s, although he worked as late as 1980 in Pum!. In the '80s and '90s he appeared mostly in Hollywood productions, including the soap opera "Capitol," Mask (1988) and Mac and Me, but has also shown up in some syndicated TV shows ("Acapulco Heat," "Tarzan") and Hollywood movies (Old Gringo) shot in Mexico. He currently resides in Seattle. Rado's aunt was the wife of actor Conrad Veidt.
