- Sergio Calderón has worked as a professional actor since 1970. Following his studies at the Instituto Andrés Soler of the Asociación Nacional de Actores in Mexico, he was chosen for his first film, Bridge in the Jungle, based on B. Traven's novel, and starring legendary director/actor John Huston. Thirteen years later, Calderón worked with Huston again, this time under Huston's direction as one of the sinister murderers in the classic Under the Volcano with Albert Finney and Jacqueline Bisset. In television in this same period, he played the guest stars Malavida Valdése and El Cajón in both of the two season-initial double episodes of the very popular series "The A-Team" with George Peppard and Mr. T.
But principally he is well-respected and widely recognized for all of his long career of some fifty films. Calderón has worked with other outstanding directors besides Huston: Sergio Leone, Ron Howard, Luis Puenzo, R. Mann and many others. Since beginning his career he has worked with actors such as Anthony Quinn (Children of Sánchez), Peter Falk and Alan Arkin (The In-Laws), Robert Mitchum, James Coburn and Rod Steiger (Duck, you Sucker!), Gerard Depardieu and Pierre Richard (Le Chevre) and Gregory Peck, Jane Fonda and Jimmy Smits (Old Gringo).

Jose was born on, May 29 1991, in Tehuixtla, Morelos, Mexico to Luis Mena-Torres and Evangelina Garcia de Mena (Peralta) who immigrated to the USA and raised him and his two brothers in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As a young boy while he wasn't a bad student he would always have a hard time focusing when the topics weren't about his true love, movies. Like all the 90s kids he grew up watching all the amazing work of Disney but it wasn't until he saw Jurassic Park and later on Titanic that he knew he one day wanted to be part of this magical business.
After graduating high school in 2009 he was accepted into UNLV's film program but couldn't go due to money issues and the bad economy during that year so sadly his dream seemed to have been lost.
But in 2018 after watching many more amazing movies by his favorite actors he decided to pursue his dream again and began to train at 1Media Productions with Frank Parrillo, Dan Hewitt Owens, and Tim Colceri.
Jose also loves to write and is now finally on his path to one day becoming a great actor, writer and director.- Producer
