	Actors - Timothy Carey

Timothy Agoglia Carey (b. March 11, 1929 in Brooklyn, New York; d. May 11, 1994 in Los Angeles, California) was an intense American actor with a cult following who worked in multiple films with Stanley Kubrick and John Cassavetes.

Carey worked with Kubrick as a horse killer in The Killing (1956) and a French soldier in Paths of Glory
(1957), and with Cassavetes in Minnie and Moskowitz (1971) and The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
(1976). His final appearance was in the 1986 movie Echo Park.

Carey produced, wrote, directed and starred in the 1962 feature The World's Greatest Sinner. The film never saw commercial release and the Hollywood Reporter called it “an apparent waste of time and money with very limited commercial appeal.” However, the film remains an important cult classic to this day. Carey remains an important icon in independent film. He funded the film himself.

The film involves a bored insurance salesman quitting his job and starting his own religion. He goes by the name of "God", founds his own political party and has sex with both a young girl and an old woman, all to an original Frank Zappa soundtrack.

Carey also did a select amount of acting on TV from the 1950s through the 1980s. He had roles in East of Eden with James Dean, The Wild One with Marlon Brando, and Beach Blanket Bingo, with the crazy kids of the Beach Party gang. One of Carey's sons, Romeo Carey, now works as the director of KBEV, Beverly Hills High School's television channel. He died from a stroke in 1994.
