Nestor Paiva Overview:
Character actor, Nestor Paiva, was born Nestor Caetano Paiva on Jun 30, 1905 in Fresno, CA. Paiva died at the age of 61 on Sep 9, 1966 in Hollywood, CA .
MINI BIO:
American actor mostly in aggressive or temperamental roles. His long radio experience gave the California-born actor an ear for foreign accents that he quickly turned to his advantage after arriving in Hollywood in 1938. Playing Russians, Mexicans, Red Indians, Arabs, South Americans, Spaniards, Italians, and half-castes in general, he soon became one of the cinema's "familiar faces" to whom it was most difficult to add the name.
