I recently watched a BW film, Good Time Girl, featuring a familiar looking black actor.
Googling around he turned out to be Orlando Martins. A prolific actor, actually, amongst Britain's top 15 favourite actors of 1947.
Googling him I was surpised to see he was chiefly an actor who worked, seemingly only on the side, as wrestler Black Butcher Johnson.
Since history has it that Black Butcher was the brother of Johnny Kwango, it's fair to assume they shared parents.
Orlando Martins' father was Brazilian.
Which makes Johnny Kwango Brazilian.
Not sure if my trail is 100% watertight but it really does surprise me.
did the wild man of borneo ever have a Brazilian, I am asking for a friend
