Chris Alcaide(1922-2004)

An arch-villain -- the ultimate henchman -- Chris Alcaide appeared in scores of film noirs (mainly vintage Columbia B detective movies) and Westerns. His tall frame, steely look, and deep voice menaced such TV and movie stars as Glenn Ford, Tyrone Power, Lorne Greene, Richard Boone, Clint Walker, and even Elvis Presley, for decades. In 2003, Alcaide won a well-deserved Crystal Samuelian Golden Boot several months before his death.
