Trust us, youve seen a few Charlie Gemora pictures.
In the spare time he could find between all that, he was also a sculptor and inventor.
The stories concerning how he got his start in Hollywood differ a bit.
He even created the mechanical ants for the Charlton Heston featureNaked Jungle.
But Gemora will always and forever be remembered as The Gorilla Guy.
He would become a character actor quite unlike any other.
Not only would he never have to learn any lines, he could also provide his own wardrobe.
In 1928, Gemora made his screen debut bringing his own gorilla suit to life inThe Leopard Lady.
The move, however, did not interfere with his growing reputation as the gorilla go-to guy.
