George Kotsonaros was a film actor, mostly in silent pictures. He was born October 16, 1892, in Nauplie, Greece, and died July 13, 1933, in Eutaw, Alabama.
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 sub-genre 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.
