and film actor who made his career in France.Emilfork was born in San
Felipe, Chile after his Jewish socialist parents from Kiev fled a
pogrom in Odessa. At age 25, he left Chile and settled in France,
because, according to his friend Alejandro Jodorowsky, he didn't feel
comfortable being a homosexual man in Chile.Emilfork's face was out of
the norm and had made him a choice character actor for films such as
The City of Lost Children (1995). He specialized in roles of villains.
Previously he had played in The Devil's Nightmare (1971), Travels with
My Aunt (1972) and Fellini's Casanova (1976), in Roman Polanski's
Pirates (1986) and in Taxandria (1994). He carried on acting up until
his death, his last film appearing in 2007.Emilfork's voice and accent
when speaking French were extremely striking and unique.
