Sergio Calderon was born in Coatlan del Rio, Morelos,
Mexico on July 21, 1945. He began working as an actor in 1970 after his studies
at the Instituto Andrés Soler of the Asociación Nacional de Actores in Mexico.
His first film, “Bridge in the Jungle”, was based on B. Traven's novel, and
starring legendary director/actor John Huston. Calderón. Thirteen years later
he would work with Huston again, this time under Huston's direction as one of
the killers in the classic “Under the Volcano” with Albert Finney and
Jacqueline Bisset. Calderon was also active in television during this same
period, he made a guest appearance on ‘Malavida Valdése’ and ‘El Cajón’. He
appeared in both of the initial double episodes of the very popular ‘The
A-Team’ with George Peppard.
He’s had a respectable career in some 50 films. Calderon
has worked with several outstanding directors besides Huston such as Sergio
Leone, Ron Howard, Luis Puenzo, R. Mann and many others. Since beginning his
career he has worked with such notable actors as Anthony Quinn (“Children of
Sánchez”), Peter Falk and Alan Arkin (“The In-Laws”), Robert Mitchum, James
Coburn and Rod Steiger (“Duck, you Sucker”), Gerard Depardieu and Pierre
Richard (“Le Chevre”) and Gregory Peck, Jane Fonda and Jimmie Smits (“Old
Gringo”).
He is perhaps most well-known for his role as the first
alien, Head on a Stick, in the original blockbuster “Men in Black”, starring
Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. More recently he has worked with Cate
Blanchett, Tommy Lee Jones and Aaron Eckhart in “The Missing”, and played Captain
Villanueva, the Spanish pirate lord in “Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's
End”. He continues acting adding such films as “Little Fockers” (2010) and
"Funny or Die Presents..." (2011) to his impressive resume.
