Sergio Calderón has had a remarkable career spanning over five decades, with his journey as a professional actor commencing in 1970. Following his studies at the prestigious Instituto Andrés Soler of the Asociación Nacional de Actores in Mexico, he was handpicked for his debut film, Bridge in the Jungle, an adaptation of B. Traven's novel, which starred the legendary director/actor John Huston.
Thirteen years later, Calderón had the privilege of working with Huston once again, this time under his direction, as one of the sinister murderers in the classic film Under the Volcano, alongside Albert Finney and Jacqueline Bisset. During this period, he also made guest appearances as Malavida Valdése and El Cajón in the double episodes of the popular television series "The A-Team", starring George Peppard and Mr. T.
Throughout his illustrious career, Calderón has worked with some of the most renowned directors in the industry, including Sergio Leone, Ron Howard, Luis Puenzo, R. Mann, and many others. He has had the opportunity to share the screen with an impressive array of actors, such as Anthony Quinn, Peter Falk, and Alan Arkin in Children of Sánchez, Robert Mitchum, James Coburn, and Rod Steiger in Duck, you Sucker!, Gerard Depardieu and Pierre Richard in Le Chevre, and Gregory Peck, Jane Fonda, and Jimmy Smits in Old Gringo.
One of his most iconic roles is undoubtedly as the first alien, Head on a Stick, in the original blockbuster Men in Black, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. He also co-starred with Jones in The Missing, alongside Cate Blanchett and Aaron Eckhart, and played Captain Villanueva, the Spanish pirate lord in Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End.
