This actor is one of the most well known people in Latin America, Ruben Aguirre. He plays a character in the "El Chavo" TV shown, called "Professor Girafalles". He's identical to El Eldross. I remember myself playing Kaiserreich for DH as Princely India back then and I saw El Eldross for the first time and was like "My God, he's like Girafalles!"

A policeman in a Chongqing restaurant attempting to assert his authority over staff and patrons, 1952. China's police took decades after the end of the Pacific War to become truly professional, with officers being seen as either corrupt, egotistical, incompetent or some combination of the three. Soliciting bribes, triad association and merely causing disturbances in public areas were activities that many cops took part in. Truly dedicated and upstanding officers struggled to climb through the ranks and earn the respect of the communities they hoped to serve.
