Fernando Rey

Fernando Rey's aristocratic bearing and multilingual abilities made him one of international cinema's most distinguished actors, from Luis Buñuel's surrealist masterpieces to 'The French Connection' where his portrayal of the sophisticated drug dealer Alain Charnier created one of cinema's most memorable villains. His Spanish heritage and classical training brought authenticity to European roles while his natural elegance made him perfect for characters who used intelligence rather than violence to achieve their goals. These movie posters showcase an actor who embodied Old World sophistication in an increasingly modern cinematic landscape.
