John Kitzmiller as Quarrel in ‘Dr No’.

John Kitzmiller (December 4, 1913 – February 23, 1965) was an African-American actor.

He made Italy his permanent residence and acted in more than 50 European films, often portraying an angry black man fighting racism.

He played the leading role of Jerry in the Senza pietà (Without Pity), written by Federico Fellini. He received awards commemorating both his role as an actor and as a soldier: he received the Victory Medal and was the first black actor to win a best acting award at the Cannes Film Festival (in 1957, for his work in the Yugoslavian film Peace Valley).
