Cannibal Films - Actors

Actors

Like directors, few actors are cannibal genre regulars. The three actors who appeared in three cannibal films (the most by any actor) are:

  • Robert Kerman in Cannibal Holocaust, Eaten Alive!, and Cannibal Ferox.
  • Ivan Rassimov in Man From Deep River, Jungle Holocaust, Mountain of the Cannibal God, and Eaten Alive!.
  • Me Me Lai in Man From Deep River, Jungle Holocaust, and Eaten Alive!.

Other popular cannibal genre actors are --- Laura Gemser, an Indonesian model turned actress in Italy; Carl Gabriel Yorke, who played the most infamous character of the cannibal genre, Alan Yates in Cannibal Holocaust; and Giovanni Lombardo Radice, a mainstream Italian actor whose stage name is John Morghen. (An interesting sidenote is that the lead character in the influential A Man Called Horse (1970) was named John Morgan.)

Famous quotes containing the word actors:

    Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.
    Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
