Biography

Pedro de Cordoba's ancestral heritage is often misattributed to Mexico, yet his mother hails from France, while his father boasts Cuban roots, and he was born in the vibrant city of New York.

De Cordoba's acting career began in the silent film era, where he skillfully established himself as a dependable character actor, and his impressive resume seamlessly transitioned into the world of talkies.

Physically, De Cordoba stood tall, with a somewhat frail appearance, which often led to him being cast in roles that required him to portray wealthy, aristocratic Latin characters, typically, though not exclusively, possessing kind-hearted and benevolent qualities.
