Biography

Charles Bronson (born Charles Dennis Buchinsky; November 3, 1921 - August 30, 2003) was an American actor. Known for his granite features and brawny physique, he gained international fame for his starring roles in action, western, and war films; initially as a supporting player and later a leading man. A quintessential cinematic tough guy, Bronson was cast in various roles where the plot line hinged on the authenticity of the character's toughness and brawn. At the height of his fame in the early 1970s, he was the world's number one box office attraction.
