Daniel Emilfork
Daniel Emilfork (7 April 1924 – 17 October 2006) was a Chilean stage and film actor who made his career in France. Biography Emilfork was born in San Felipe, Chile after his Jewish socialist parents from Kiev fled a pogrom in Odessa. At age 25, he left Chile and settled in France, because, according to his friend Alejandro Jodorowsky, he didn't feel comfortable being a homosexual man in Chile. Emilfork's face was out of the norm and had made him a choice character actor for films such as '' The City of Lost Children'' (1995). He specialized in roles of villains. Previously he had played in '' The Devil's Nightmare'' (1971), '' Travels with My Aunt'' (1972) and '' Fellini's Casanova'' (1976), in Roman Polanski's '' Pirates'' (1986) and in '' Taxandria'' (1994). He carried on acting up until his death, his last film appearing in 2007. He died in Paris, France.
