Mikhail Mazurkevych Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family
Mike Mazurki (December 25, 1907 – December 9, 1990), born Mikhai? Mazurkiewicz, was an Austrian-born American actor and professional wrestler who appeared in over 100 movies. His towering 6' 5" presence and intimidating face usually got him roles playing tough guys, thugs, strong men, and gangsters.
Always a character and supporting actor, he did have one starring role, as Trapper in the film "Challenge to be Free," for which he received very favorable reviews.

Karen Burroughs Hannsberry has a short biography of him in her book "Bad Boys: The Actors of Film Noir".
3
Well known to generations of wrestling fans as "Iron" Mike Mazurki, he delighted them with several world-class battles during his long career. Outside the squared circle he was dedicated to serving those in his wrestling brotherhood, and in the 1960s he founded the "Cauliflower Alley Club", a non-profit organization that awarded scholarships and financial assistance to retired or injured wrestlers and their families.
4
Awarded the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame's New York State Award, which was presented to an individual who made significant contributions to the sport of Professional Wrestling in the PWHF's home state of New York.
5
In 1936 he played minor=league football with the Wessington Passaic (NJ) Red Devils, a team in the American Football Association.
Best remembered as the lumbering, intense yet soft-hearted Moose Malloy in the classic 1945 film-noir adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel 'Farewell, My Lovely', called Murder, My Sweet (1944) in the US (while retaining the novel's title overseas).
9
Wrestler turned actor in tough guy roles.
10
Contrary to his image as a brawny, not very smart tough guy, Mazurki graduated at the top of his class from Manhattan College, class of 1930, with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
