Max Alvarado (February 19, 1929 – April 6, 1997) was a Filipino film actor known mainly by his portrayals of villains in a career which spanned six decades.
Max Alvarado was born as Gavino Maximo Teodosio in Manila.
He first gained critical notice in the 1952 film Ang Sawa sa Lumang Simboryo directed by Gerry de Leon.
As a villain, Alvarado was frequently cast opposite the heroic roles of Fernando Poe Jr., although he has also portrayed a supporting ally to the latter in films such as "Walang Matigas na Tinapay sa Mainit na Kape" alongside Paquito Diaz, also in a non-antagonist role which starred former child star Vandolph, and fellow villain actor Paquito's younger brother Romy Diaz as the main antagonist.
