Gino Corrado


Gino Corrado was an Italian-born film actor. He appeared in more than 400 films between 1916 and 1954, almost always in small roles as a character actor. From 1916 to 1923, he was known as Eugene Corey, which was an Anglicized version of his name.

Career

Born in Florence, Italy, Corrado is considered to have one of the most impressive filmographies of any actor; for example, he is the only actor to appear in Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane and Casablanca, three of the leading films of Hollywood's Golden Age. He played Aramis in The Iron Mask. He made his film debut in D. W. Griffith's Intolerance in 1916, and appeared in such other silent classics as The Ten Commandments and Sunrise. By the time sound arrived, he had already been reduced to a bit player, but worked constantly and was always a welcome presence. Corrado made an appearance in the Our Gang short "Follies of 1938". He is especially known by Three Stooges fans for his appearances in Saved by the Belle, An Ache in Every Stake and Micro-Phonies. His final film role was a shoe salesman in the 1954 Martin and Lewis comedy Living It Up.
His younger brother was the silent film actor Louis Dumar.
Corrado became a restaurateur following the end of his film career. ‘Gino’s’, his place on Ventura Blvd., was highly thought of, and drew many in the film industry. Gino later lost the restaurant, due to what he said was fraud.

Death

Corrado died at the Motion Picture and Television Country House in Woodland Hills, California, on 23 December 1982 at age 89. His grave is located at Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery, and his gravestone epitaph is etched with Corrado's image from the classic Three Stooges short, Micro-Phonies, with the inscription, "Forever On The Screen — Forever In Our Hearts".
