Bolorkin
Also known as ボローキン (Borokin)
Hello, My Name (in English) is…
Bolorkin.
Distinguishing Features
One of the more visually distinctive stars, he is easily distinguishable by his pencil moustache and squinty, squiggly-line, eyes.
Status: Minor Star (★)
A bit of a roughneck, ruffian and a drunkard, Bolorkin usually finds himself cast in the rough and tumble roles of a dock worker, a cowboy, or a slave-trader. His drinking seems to have been a career-limiting factor though, as many of his later appearances are simply bit parts in the background or as part of the crowd.
Notable Roles
His first appearance is as the drunken ship cleaner, Borozokin in King Rocket (1948), however he has also had memorable roles as the cowboy, “No. 9721” in The Golden City (1950), and as Colonel Bolorkin of the Uran Federation in Next World (1951), among others.
