Silvestre was born on January 28, 1926,[2] in San Diego, California, but was raised in Tijuana, Mexico.[3][4] He dropped out of college in order to pursue a career in bullfighting, but turned to acting after being badly gored by a bull.[5]

Silvestre was married first to Leonor Plaza, a Venezuelan woman, but later divorced. He later married artistic representative Blanca Estela Limon, and from 2011, lived in California.[7] Silvestre died in Coronado, California, on June 2, 2024, at the age of 98.[4][8][9]
