His swarthy, menacing face—and pugilist's rearranged nose—got him many roles as a tough guy or a prizefighter at a time when boxing movies were a flourishing subgenre due to the sport's huge popularity with the public.

Most of Kotsonaros's films are today considered lost. Later, Kotsonaros began a career in professional wrestling.[citation needed]

On July 13, 1933, Kotsonaros was driving through Alabama when his car overturned, killing him.[1]
