- Birth nameJosé Jorge Jaime Ribe Rosas
- Height1.87 m
- Very handsome and muscular Mexican leading man, on-screen from the mid-1960s. Ironically, in his debut film he played a masked wrestler and his face was never shown. Rivero soon became a sex symbol and a major box-office star, and was called by Hollywood to star with John Wayne in Howard Hawks's Rio Lobo (1970). Since the 1980s he has worked only occasionally in Mexican films and soap operas -- he has lived in Southern California for more than a decade -- but shows up in international productions, sometimes billed as "George Rivero."- IMDb mini biography by: Anonymous
- SpousesIrene Hammer(196? - ?) (divorced, 2 children)Betty Moran(? - present)
- His mother, Carmen Rosas López (born in 1912), was from the city of Puebla in Mexico.
- You know what happens, usually what I do when I start working on a movie is I adapt myself, like the chameleon. I'm in this movie, I'm with the director, maybe the director is a very special guy, or he has a bad character, or whatever -- it depends on how he is -- and that's the way I treat him. If he has a bad character, I kinda stay away and then slowly I start making a friendship with him. And at the end of the movie, usually I'm okay.
- I prefer the roles of villains, because audiences always remember the villain.
