Actor

The Resume

    (August 5, 1936-July 25, 2020)
    Birth name is Carmine Orrico
    Starred in the films 'Joe Kidd (1972),' 'Enter the Dragon (1973),' 'The Electric Horseman (1979),' 'A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984),' 'New Nightmare (1994)' and 'From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)'
    Appeared in the TV series 'Dynasty' as Rashid Ahmed and 'Falcon Crest' as Tony Cumson

Why he might be annoying:

    He has had several major roles in high profile/big budget films but never managed to go mainstream.
    Decent dramatic roles in prestigious films eluded him throughout his career and so he will always be remembered as the rebellious B-movie character actor of the 70s and 80s.
    Even after 50 years of acting and now possessing a fairly high profile, he still appears mostly in low budget B-movies.

Why he might not be annoying:

    While only a star in B-movies, he still managed to carve himself an impressive career in the industry with well over 120 film roles in his filmography.
    Despite working largely unnoticed for a large portion of his career he has since become a cult icon and is well respected in the industry.
    He made a guest appearance on virtually every major TV series of the 70s and 80s (totalling nearly 250 appearances).
    He won a Most Promising Newcomer Golden Globe in 1958.
    He has a black belt in karate.
