carl gabriel yorke -lrb- born november 23 , 1952 -rrb- is an american actor .
he was one of four actors who the italian police believed had been murdered in the making of the 1980 horror film `` cannibal holocaust '' .
so realistic was the film that shortly after it was released its director ruggero deodato was arrested for murder .
the actors had signed contracts to stay out of the media for a year in order to fuel rumours that the film was a snuff movie .
the court was only convinced that they were alive when the contracts were cancelled and the actors appeared on a television show as proof .
