Henry Silva, Actor Who Specialized in Menace, Dies at 95 (Published 2022)
He was forever cast as a thug, a hit man or some other nefarious character. But he took pride in his ability to play each bad guy differently.

Silva was born in Brooklyn, New York City, of Sicilian and Spanish descent.
it is "funny" how so many actors/actresses were born of one (or 2) nationality's and in the movies portrayed others, like a Native American, or Mexican, Italian, etc, with just a bit of make up and voice coaching.
(Anthony Quinn, was yet another, who played so many different types.)
i always thought this actor (Silva) was indeed a Native American, and never bothered to look it up, until now.

yes, many have a "generic look" about them.
i think the late actor, Paul Muni was also another multi- "faced" looking persons, and i f i recall too, Sal Mineo
