Michael Simeon Visaroff (December 18, 1892 – February 27, 1951) was a Russian American film actor.
Visaroff was born Mikhail Semenovich Vizarov (Russian: Михаил Семёнович Визаров) in Moscow, Russia. He was a graduate of the Russian Principal Dramatic School.
Visaroff started his career on stage, before making the transition to film, appearing in 113 films between 1925 and 1952. He was best known for his uncredited appearance in an early scene of Dracula (1931) as the nervous Hungarian innkeeper who, as Renfield is traveling to meet the Count, warns him about the actual existence of vampires.
In 1922, Visaroff came to the United States with a group from the Kamerny Theatre in Moscow. With a 14-week leave of absence from Russia, the group planned to present 12 plays, each lasting one week, in a Broadway theater.
Visaroff was married to Nina Visaroff. He died in Hollywood, California, from pneumonia in 1951.
