Hispanic name. Almost certainly born in the place where he was raised, i.e. Los Cordovas in New Mexico, just to the west of the southern half of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Born circa 1940, by now he's either a very old man, or dead.

No, because although his birth year must have been around 1940, and although it is almost certain that he was born in New Mexico, both these points can be inferred from the information already on the Profile pages for the actor and the movie, and I have no way of knowing for sure either his place of birth or his exact birth year. I think it important that the information we supply in the Profiles should be properly corroborated - not mere guesswork.

I'm not sure if this information was uncovered already but on (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) bio of Miguel Chávez it says he was born in Taos, NM. Per FamilySearch there is a Miguel E. Chávez in Taos born 15 June 1940.
