Answer : ANTHONY QUINN
Anthony Quinn, in full Anthony Rudolph Oaxaca Quinn, (April 21, 1915- June 3, 2001) was a Mexican-born American actor who appeared in more than 150 films but was universally identified with one role especially—the title character in Zorba the Greek, whom he inhabited so completely and comfortably that many of his later parts seemed also to be infused with that character’s spirit. He embraced his offscreen life with the same gusto, evidenced in part by the fact that his 13th child was born when he was in his 80s.
Quinn had a variety of jobs—prizefighter, painter, and musician and preacher for an evangelist among them—and, besides studying for the priesthood, considered becoming an architect. He began taking acting lessons after Frank Lloyd Wright suggested that he improve his speech, and he was cast in the play Clean Beds. In 1936 Quinn appeared in a small part in the movie Parole, and garnered a number of roles of various ethnic or outlaw characters in the films They Died with Their Boots On, The Ox-Bow Incident, Guadalcanal Diary, and Back to Bataan. His first lead role was in 1947’s Black Gold. That year Quinn made his Broadway debut in The Gentleman from Athens. He followed that with touring in A Streetcar Named Desire, Born Yesterday and Let Me Hear the Melody. He also appeared in a number of live television programs.
Returning to Hollywood, Quinn had roles in The Brave Bulls and Viva Zapata!, for which he won the first of his two Academy Awards. He then made a few films in Italy, the most notable of which was La strada. Quinn won his second Oscar for Lust for Life and had roles in Wild Is the Wind, The Savage Innocents, The Guns of Navarone, Requiem for a Heavyweight, and Lawrence of Arabia.
Quinn returned to the stage in 1982 to tour with and appear on Broadway in a revival of the musical version of Zorba, and he also became a successful artist and sculptor. His final movie role was in Avenging Angelo.
