Kaz Garas

Kaz Garas is an English speaking, Lithuanian-born actor, perhaps best known for his starring role in the TV-series Strange Report, and his numerous portrayals of sheriffs in low-budget thrillers.

Career

Garas was born in Kaunas, Lithuania, but moved to America at an early age where he began acting.

Kaz Garas began his career with a few minor parts in a couple of TV-series, but finally took off after he landed a co-starring part as 'Hamlyn Gynt' in the Crime/Mystery-series, Strange Report, acting alongside Anthony Quayle and Anneke Wills. After the series got cancelled in 1970, Garas moved on the playing bit parts on other TV-series, and had the occasional opportunity to shine on the big screen with films like Ben, Fast Gun, Wonder Woman and Naked Vengeance, or playing a Sheriff at least 7 times in his career, in films like Dazzle, Piranha, Humanoids From the Deep and Final Mission. In 2004, he apparently retired at the age of 64.
