Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Cudney came to Mexico in the 1960s to play the lead in the musical Show Boat and ended up staying. He'd find steady work in both films and telenovelas, most often typecast as authoritarian characters and other "gringo" villains. He also appeared in the occasional Hollywood film. He died on July 5, 2021 of a heart attack following a car accident.
