Biography:Born in Cuba, but raised in the United States, actor "Tomas Milian" (born Tomas Rodriguez) started out on the New York stage following training at the Actor's Studio. He appeared on the short-lived television series "Decoy" in 1957. Milian traveled to Italy and performed "Jean Cocteau"'s pantomime "The Poet and the Muse" at the 1959 Spoleto Festival. Filmmaker "Mauro Bolognini" spotted him and cast Milian in "La Notte Brava" (1959). The actor subsequently appeared in two more of the director's films and went on to star or play character roles in Italian crime thrillers, spaghetti Westerns, and straight dramas, where he was typically cast as a psychopathic murderer or villain. During his 30 years in Italy, Milian received two major awards for his contribution, the Antonio de Curtis Award for Comedy and the Coppa Del Consiglio Dei Ministri from the Italian government. Milian returned to the U.S. in 1989... Full Biography
