Mystery actor


[Click for a larger view.]

I’ve seen him on television at least a hundred times. But on film — that was a surprise. Do you recognize him? Leave your best guess in the comment. I’ll drop a clue if needed.

Here’s a hint: this actor is probably best known today for playing a dancer.

Oh well. The answer is now in the comments.

  1. Is it the prosecutor from Perry Mason? (Too lazy to look up his name.)

  2. No to both. I’ll add a hint to the post.

  3. I guess no one’s going to get this one. The actor is Charles Korvin, seen here in Berlin Express (dir. Jacques Tourneur, 1948) as Henri Perrot, “once a member of the French underground, now a man of commerce.”

    Today Korvin is probably best remembered as Carlos Sanchez, neighbor and mambo dancer in The Honeymooners episode “Mama Loves Mambo” (March 3, 1956). And yes, I think I’ve seen that epsiode at least a hundred times.

  4. Oh of course. There's no missing that chin but I couldn't place him.

  5. He’s in the Kramdens’ apartment, teaching everyone how to mambo. :)
