José Chávez Trowe
was born in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico on June 2, 1916-Mexico City. He
began his career in 1938 in the film “Los millones de Chaflán”.
José made a total of 304 films and appeared in 10 television
series. He appeared beside all the great stars of both Mexico and Hollywood
where he filmed 20 movies and 8 TV series. He was an actor very well loved by
all his colleagues, he was a very humble person and devoted himself to his
career, and played characters both small and large, he never managed to be a
leading actor because in many of his films he played the villainous characters
for which he stole the scene. He also possessed an unmistakable voice. Some of
his more famous films were “La Pachanga”, “A Tragedy in Three Acts”, “Cabo
Blanco”, “El medio pelo”, all of them made in the 1980s; and among his films of
the 1970s were: “Puerto maldito”, “Los reyes de Palenque”, “Carita de primavera”,
“Red Zone”, “Las fuerzas vivas” and “Rapiña”.
with that
aguardientosa voice that he had that characterized him, was sensational!!! 304
movies are easy to say, but I'm sure we all agree that we remember this beloved
actor in all his films who worked with all the stars of both the golden age and
the commercial and as always happens, no there are no records or photographs of
these actors who are in total oblivion, thanks to people like my good friend
Pablo Villalobos Valdéz who takes the task of photographing scenes from movies
and put his name as is the picture that I present the roll today . Finally, I
told you that in 1980 I had the opportunity to meet this actor at Estudios
América in Mexico City and I could see him working on the movie "Herencia
de Muerte" directed by my friend José Luis Urquieta and it was a very nice
e
