George Kotsonaros ((ギリシア語:Γεώργιος Κωτσονάρος); born October 16, 1892 in Nafplio, Greece; died July 13, 1933 in Eutaw, Alabama) was a Greek-born film actor. He acted mostly in silent pictures. His swarthy, menacing face—and pugilist's rearranged nose—got him many roles as a tough guy or a prizefighter at a time when boxing movies were a flourishing subgenre due to the sport's huge popularity with the public. Most of Kotsonaros's films are today considered lost, as is the case with most silent films. Later, Kotsonaros began a career in professional wrestling. On July 13, 1933, Kotsonaros was driving through Alabama when his car overturned, killing him.〔"Kotsonaros Dies in Auto; Actor-Wrestler Killed In Alabama; John Paul Jones Badly Hurt", ''New York Times'', July 14, 1933; Tim Hornbaker, ''National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly That Strangled Pro Wrestling'' (ECW Press, 2007) p194〕 ==Filmography== *''Honeymoon Lane'' (1931) as Nolay *''Dangerous Paradise'' (1930) as Pedro aka ''Two Against Death'' (USA: alternative title) *''The Body Punch'' (1929) as Paul Steinert *''The Shakedown'' (1929) as Battling Roff *''We Faw Down'' (1928) as One-Round Kelly (uncredited) aka ''We Slip Up'' (UK) *''Beggars of Life'' (1928) as Baldy (uncredited) *''Street of Sin'' (1928) as Iron Mike *''The Fifty-Fifty Girl'' (1928) as Buck (the Gorilla Man) *''The Love Mart'' (1927) as Fleming Henchman (uncredited) *''The Private Life of Helen of Troy'' (1927) as Hector aka ''Helen of Troy'' (USA) *''The Wizard'' (1927) as The Gorilla *''King of the Jungle'' (1927, serial) *''Catch-As-Catch-Can'' (1927) as Butch *''The Tender Hour'' (1927) as The Wrestler *''When a Man Loves'' (1927) as Convict Prisoner (uncredited) aka ''His Lady'' (UK) *''While London Sleeps'' (1926) as The Monk *''Cupid's Knockout'' (1926) *''Vanishing Millions'' (1926) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Kotsonaros」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
