description: "Mike Mazurki was a Ukrainian-American actor and professional wrestler who appeared in dozens of films. Although educated as an attorney, his hulking 6 ft 5 in (196 cm) presence, craggy face, and croaking voice had him often typecast as brainless athletes, tough guys, thugs, and gangsters. Memorable roles included Moose Malloy in Murder, My Sweet (1944), Splitface in Dick Tracy (1945), Yusuf in Sinbad the Sailor (1947), and \"The Strangler\" in Night and the City (1950). He was the founder and first president of the Cauliflower Alley Club."
