Actor: Paul Ralli
Born: March 2, 1903 in Cyprus
Died: September 4, 1953 (age 50) in Van Nuys, California, USA
Paul Ralli had a short screen career. His filmography lists four credited and one uncredited role between 1927 and 1933. He was born in 1903 in Cyprus, Greece and died in Van Nuys, California in 1953. His handsome features gave him the dark, romantic look popular in the late 1920's. In Show People, his character is a spoof of this "Latin-lover" type.
“Cyprus, U.K.-educated Paul Ralli was brought to Hollywood by talent agent (and later producer) Fanchon Royer. Ralli earned good roles in such films as Show People (1928) and Married in Hollywood (1929) before sound demoted him to extra work and bit parts. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi”

Interesting eh... Nobody ever seems to mention this guy in Cyprus so I figured I'd raise him from the dead 60 years later!
