Pedro Gregorio Armendariz Hastings (May 9, 1912 - June 18, 1963), or Pedro Armendariz Sr., was a Mexican actor.
He was best known for his roles as Quino in The Pearl, Sgt. Beaufort in Fort Apache and James Bond's Turkish ally Ali Kerim Bey in From Russia with Love.
He was married to Carmelita Bohr and they had two children, including Pedro Armendariz Jr, who had a role in a later James Bond film as well (Licence to Kill).
Armendariz died in 1963 after taking his own life after dealing with cancer. He might have had that cancer because of atomic bomb test radiations in the desert used for the filming of The Conqueror.
