Turhan Bey (Turhan Selahattin Sahultavey Bey) (b. March 30, 1922) Austrian-born Turkish actor. He quickly established himself as an exotically handsome leading man in such films as The Mummy’s Tomb (1942), The Mad Ghoul (1943), Captive Wild Woman (1943) and The Climax (1944) while many Hollywood stars were away serving in World War II. He later became a free-lance photographer for soft-porn magazines and moved back to Vienna, only briefly returning to acting in the mid-1990s.
In 1995, Bey portrayed the aging Centauri emperor in an episode of the TV series Babylon 5. Though the character had no name other than "emperor" for the episode, in later episodes the actor's first name became the character's proper name. He was called Emperor Turhan.
