Mike Mazurki
Western Villain: Mike Mazurki
by: Ed G. Lousararian
Once upon a time there lived a giant in the valley. His
name was Mike Mazurki.
As an actor, he added excitement to more than 350 films and television shows.
During his stay at the hospital in the Fall of '87, I
wasn't thrilled about having
to stick a needle in the arm of the gargantuan man who had virtually played
nothing but bone-crushing thugs, henchmen and barbarians named "Rhino,"
Splitface," "Igor," "Bigfoot," and "Moose." I knocked
on his door and heard

contain his 6'5",
265 pound frame....................................................
