Biography

George Kotsonaros (Greek: Γεώργιος Κωτσονάρος; born October 16, 1892 in Nafplio, Greece; died July 13, 1933 in Eutaw, Alabama) was a Greek-born professional wrestler and film actor. He acted mostly in silent pictures. His original name was Giorgios Demetrios Kotsonaros; he emigrated to the United States in July 1910.

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.
