Gene Greytak (November 14, 1925 – February 28, 2010) was a real estate broker, who made a career as an actor by impersonating Pope John Paul II because of his facial resemblance to the pontiff.[1]

Greytak was Catholic, and had at least the tacit permission of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to impersonate the pope.[clarification needed][citation needed] Greytak died on February 28, 2010.
