George Eastman (1942-2024) was a pioneering Italian actor and director who became known as the 'king of the video nasties' for his extensive work in exploitation films from the 1970s to 1990s, including notable titles such as Baba Yaga (1973), Anthropophagus (1980), and Absurd (1981), which significantly contributed to the video nasty genre and Italian cinema.

George Eastman R.I.P. - King of the Video Nasties #shorts #georgeeastmanAdded:
Rest in peace, George Eastman, the video nasty's king as far as acting is concerned. Here's 12 of my movies I recommend here.
Uh Baba Yaga from 1973, Rabid Dogs from 1974, Anthropophagus from 1980, Absurd from 1981, 1990 The Bronx Warriors from 1982, Iron Master from 1983, Warriors of the Wasteland from 1983, 2019 After the Fall of New York from 1983, Endgame from 1983, Blastfighter from 1984, Hands of Steel from 1986, and The Barbarians from 1987.
Also, an honorable mention is the movies he did with Laura Gemser. So, check those out, too.
He'll be sadly missed. He added a lot to this video nasty's genre and Italian cinema and spaghetti westerns.
