Trivia:
Jamaican-born Frank Silvera attended Northeastern Law School before inaugurating his acting career. One of the few black actors of the 1950s who was able to avoid being typecast by the color of his skin, Silvera played a wide variety of ethnic types, from Latin to Middle Eastern to Oriental. He made his film bow in 1952's Viva Zapata, and shortly thereafter was prominently cast in two of Stanley Kubrick's seminal films, Fear and Desire (1953) and Killer's Kiss (1955). Silvera was founder of The Theatre of Being, which was devoted to helping young African-American actors get started in show business; he also directed several stage plays in New York and Los Angeles. Frank Silvera was electrocuted in his home at the age of 56, while trying to repair an electrical appliance. At the time of his death, he was a regular on the TV series The High Chapparal.

Trivia:
Launching his career in South American films and television programs, Argentinean actor Alejandro Rey spent most of his professional life in Hollywood. At first just another handsome Latin type, Rey emerged into a dynamic character actor, as witness his solid performance as Russian immigrant Robin Williams' attorney/protector in Moscow on the Hudson (1984). Rey's television activities included directing dozens of episodic TV programs. Alejandro Rey is most familiar to 1960s TV addicts for his three-year stint as Puerto Rican nightclub owner Carlos Ramirez in the Sally Field vehicle The Flying Nun.
