JTB Robert Z'Dar - 100 Classic Movies (Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller/Horror)
Robert J. Zdarsky was born June 3, 1950 and sadly passed away March 30, 2015. He is better known by his stage name Robert Z'Dar and was an American actor and film producer, best known for his role as officer Matt Cordell in the Maniac Cop trilogy.
Born in the West Lawn neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, Z'Dar was of Lithuanian descent. He first started acting while attending Proviso West High School in Hillside, Illinois. After high school, Z'Dar attended Arizona State University where he received a BFA and played on the university football team. After graduation, Z'Dar returned to Chicago where he was employed variously as a Chicago police officer, member of the band Nova Express, commercial jingle writer and Chippendales dancer
Z'Dar worked mainly in low-budget B-movies and direct-to-video features, but occasionally in mainstream Hollywood films and television. Due to his cherubism, a medical condition resulting in an enlarged jawline, Z'dar had a unique and easily recognizable look with a slightly sinister appearance, which aided his career as he usually portrayed villains.
A prolific actor, Z'Dar appeared in 121 films and television episodes over the course of his 29-year career.
