Is she a vershion?

Kid: "You know a lot about monsters!" Scary German Guy: "As a matter of fact, I do!"

He's hilarious in Cotton Comes to Harlem.
"Weirdness was all he cared about. Weirdness and sex and plenty to drink."

Wow - I had no idea until reading his bio here that he really WAS in a concentration camp, and that really IS his number tattoo. Yeesh. That moment in 'Monster Squad' is going to be even more haunting now.
From what I read, he is rumored to be a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp because of his work in Monster Squad and in V. Mr. Cimino. But IMDB states he was a resident of New York City at the time of WWII, and he joined the U.S. Army in the 1940s and participated in the Normandy invasion. So I doubt he ever was a nazi camp survivor.
Either way, he is/was a very good actor who played interesting characters.

Leonardo Cinimo was terrific as Scary German Guy. I especially liked the scene where it's revealed that he's a concentration camp survivor.
I enjoy keeping busy. Satan finds work for idle hands.
