Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Akim Tamiroff (1899 - 1972) Biography from Katz's Film Encyclopedia Occupation: Actor Born: October 29, 1899, Baku, Russia Died: 1972 Trained for the stage at the Moscow Art Theater drama school, he arrived in the US in 1923 on a tour with a troupe of actors and decided to stay. He appeared on stage in several New York Theatre Guild productions and from the early 30s played character parts in numerous Hollywood productions. A flamboyant actor with a strong screen presence, he played some character leads, as in THE WAY OF ALL FLESH (1940), in which he portrayed an Emil Jannings type of tragic role, but for the most part he was cast in villainous or eccentric, supporting parts, often as an unsavory, mysterious foreigner with a heavy Slavic accent. He was equally effective in broad comedy roles and in the late 50s he appeared mostly in European films. He played Sancho Panza in Orson Welles' unfinished DON QUIXOTE (1955) and played the lead in the 1959 Broadway adaptation of Rashomon. He was nominated for Oscars for his performances in THE GENERAL DIED AT DAWN (1936) and POR QUIEN DOBLAN LAS CAMPANAS (1943). 1933 QUEEN CHRISTINA performer 1933 STORM AT DAYBREAK performer 1934 THE CAPTAIN HATES THE SEA performer 1934 CHAINED performer 1934 THE GREAT FLIRTATION performer 1934 HERE IS MY HEART performer 1934 THE MERRY WIDOW performer 1934 NOW AND FOREVER performer 1934 SADIE MCKEE performer 1934 WHOM THE GODS DESTROY performer 1935 THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1936 performer 1935 BLACK FURY performer 1935 CHINA SEAS performer 1935 THE GAY DECEPTION performer 1935 GO INTO YOUR DANCE performer 1935 THE LAST OUTPOST performer 1935 THE LIVES OF A BENGAL LANCER performer 1935 NAUGHTY MARIETTA performer 1935 RUMBA performer 1936 ANTHONY ADVERSE performer 1936 DESIRE performer 1936 THE GENERAL DIED AT DAWN performer— title role 1936 THE JUNGLE PRINCESS performer 1936 THE STORY OF LOUIS PASTEUR performer 1936 WOMAN TRAP performer 1937 THE GREAT GAMBINI performer— title role 1937 HIGH, WIDE, AND HANDSOME performer 1937 KING OF GAMBLERS performer 1937 THE SOLDIER AND THE LADY/MICHAEL STROGOFF performer 1937 THIS WAY PLEASE performer 1938 THE BUCCANEER performer 1938 DANGEROUS TO KNOW performer— lead 1938 RIDE A CROOKED MILE performer— lead 1938 SPAWN OF THE NORTH performer 1939 DISPUTED PASSAGE performer— lead 1939 HONEYMOON IN BALI/MY LOVE FOR YOURS performer 1939 KING OF CHINATOWN performer— title role 1939 THE MAGNIFICENT FRAUD performer 1939 PARIS HONEYMOON performer 1939 UNION PACIFIC performer 1940 THE GREAT MCGINTY performer 1940 NORTH WEST MOUNTED POLICE performer 1940 TEXAS RANGERS RIDE AGAIN performer 1940 UNTAMED performer 1940 THE WAY OF ALL FLESH performer— lead 1941 THE CORSICAN BROTHERS/FRÈRES CORSES performer— as Colonna 1941 NEW YORK TOWN performer 1942 TORTILLA FLAT performer— as Pablo 1943 FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO performer 1943 HIS BUTLER'S SISTER performer 1944 THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY performer— as Uncle Pio 1944 CAN'T HELP SINGING performer 1944 DRAGON SEED performer— as Wu Lien 1944 THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN'S CREEK performer 1945 PARDON MY PAST performer 1946 THIEVES' HOLIDAY/SCANDAL IN PARIS performer 1947 FIESTA performer 1947 THE GANGSTER performer 1948 MY GIRL TISA performer 1948 RELENTLESS performer 1949 BLACK MAGIC/CAGLIOSTRO performer 1949 OUTPOST IN MOROCCO performer 1953 DESERT LEGION performer 1953 THEY WHO DARE performer 1954 YOU KNOW WHAT SAILORS ARE performer 1955 DON QUIXOTE/DON KIKHOT performer— as Sancho Panza 1955 MR.
