Biography

Carlos Villarías, a celebrated and esteemed Spanish thespian, entered this world on the seventh day of July in the year 1892, within the picturesque and storied city of Córdoba, Spain, a place steeped in rich cultural heritage and architectural grandeur.

As he grew and matured, Villarías would go on to forge a long and storied career, one that would leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema, a realm where his talents would captivate and inspire audiences for generations to come.

Though his life was marked by many triumphs and accomplishments, it was ultimately brought to a close on the twenty-seventh day of April in the year 1976, in the sun-kissed state of California, USA, a place known for its golden beaches, iconic cities, and endless opportunities.

Noted Mexican actor Carlos Villarías left an indelible mark on the world of cinema with his portrayal of the iconic character in the 1931 Spanish language adaptation of the timeless horror classic, Dracula.
