Pedro Weber
Mexican actor (1933-2016)
Pedro Manuel Weber Chavez (28 November 1933 – 22 March 2016) was a Mexican actor and comedian. Born in Ciudad Guzman, Jalisco, Weber was also known by the nickname "Chatanuga" (pronounced like the American city of Chattanooga, Tennessee). Weber was prolific in the Mexican cinema genre of the "ficheras"-Mexican sex comedies. Weber was considered by many as one of the primary actors of the genre.
Early life
As a kid, Weber became interested in becoming a dancer. He initiated his show business career dancing at tents and balconies that doubled as movie theaters so that Ciudad Guzman townspeople could enjoy some kind of entertainment.
Career
Before he became famous, Weber worked at a psychiatric hospital, "La Castaneda Hospital", for four years.
It was while acting in theater that Weber was discovered by the legendary actor Resortes. Resortes was looking for dancers for his show at the time. Weber was not chosen by Resortes, but he left an impression on the dancer and comedian.
