Paul Raas Movies

While very little biographical information about Paul Raas is known, wrestling historians have documented that in Chicago on November 15, 1913, he lost a high-profile match to wrestling superstar Ed "Strangler" Lewis. His appearance playing a professional wrestler opposite Francis X. Bushman in The Masked Wrestler was likely filmed shortly afterwards, given that the film was released in August 1914 and produced by the Chicago-based Essanay Film Manufacturing Company. ~ Richard Gilliam, Rovi
