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:
“The motives to actions and the inward turns of mind seem in our opinion more necessary to be known than the actions themselves; and much rather would we choose that our reader should clearly understand what our principal actors think than what they do.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“... actors of the first water are not more plentiful than playwrights of genius.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“Today the young actors regard their environment with rage and disgust. They regard their Master not as disciples regard their Master, but as slaves regard their Master.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
