Daniel Emilfork
Daniel Emilfork 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 distinctive facial features helped contribute to his career as a character actor for films such as The City of Lost Children. He specialized in roles of villains. Previously he had played in The Devil's Nightmare, Travels with My Aunt and Fellini's Casanova, in Roman Polanski's Pirates and in Taxandria. He carried on acting up until his death, his last film appearing in 2007.
He died in Paris, France from natural causes.
