约瑟夫·科顿是那种永远成不了天皇巨星、进不了前10名但却也令人永远无法忘怀的演员,他就靠在那里吸着烟,温情而饶有意味地用眼角余光看着你,像一座酝酿爆发的休眠火山,你不知道什么时候会爆发,一旦爆发,你会心甘情愿被他灼人的热能所熔化。 我目前能找到的科顿的资料很少,只知道他曾就读于华盛顿希克曼表演学校。1930年开始在百老汇登台演出;1937年,他参加奥逊*威尔斯的水星剧团,两年之后在百老汇风行一时的《费城故事》中与凯瑟琳.赫本合作演出。1938年在影片《约翰逊太多了》中初登银幕,此后相继主演了《公民凯恩》、《安巴逊大族》、《疑影》、《第三人》等多部著名影片。1948年,他主演的《珍妮的画像》获得了威尼斯国际电影节最佳男主角奖。1958年,在出演了《邪恶之触》后,慢慢淡出影坛。于1994年2月6日去世,终年八十九岁。 约瑟夫·科顿是从来没有得到奥斯卡提名的著名美国演员,这不禁让人觉得不可思议,但联想到奥逊·威尔斯、查理·卓别林也是演技一流,同样被奥斯卡弃之如履,便不再为科顿感到惋惜,他的才华勿需奥斯卡来证明。

Stocky character actor Stanley Adams had a relatively minor career in motion pictures, with the possible exception of his baby-faced millionaire Rusty Trawler of Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) fame. Otherwise, he played innumerable minor ethnic villains, bartenders and avuncular, fast-talking characters, known in the credits only by their first names. In other words, most of his roles were rather small. On television, conversely, he proved himself quite a scene-stealer, particularly in the 1960's and early 70's, when his face appeared on just about every major show. He was at his best as pool hustler Sure-shot Wilson in an episode of The Odd Couple (1970), Rollo, a quirky time-traveling scientist on The Twilight Zone (1959), and - famously - as 'asteroid detecting', tribble dealing galactic entrepreneur Cyrano Jones on Star Trek (1966). Alas, he was also a space carrot named Tybo on Lost in Space (1965)....
