Victor Mature
(Jan. 29, 1913 - Aug. 04, 1999)
Victor Mature was an American film actor. He is often described as an early exemplar of the term "beefcake" due to his muscular physique and stolid onscreen manner. But unlike any of his contemporaries and his many successors, Mature always brought a sense of fragility, doubt and uncertainty to his characters. His Samson in Samson and Delilah is without doubt his best known role; not because of the beefcake, but for the pathos he brings to the blinded hero.
