Todor Kolev (Bulgarian: Тодор Колев) (born August 26, 1939) is a leading Bulgarian actor. Born in Shumen, his first major film was Tsar i general (Tsar and General) in 1966. He has appeared in more than 30 films. He is best known to the Bulgarian audience by his roles in comedies such as "Gospodin za edin den" ("Gentleman for A Day"), "Dvoynikat" ("The double"), "Prebroyavane na divite zaytsi" ("The Hare Census"), "Tsarska piesa" ("Royal play"), "Posledniyat ergen" ("The last bachelor"). During the time of Communist dictatorship he was temporarily exiled from Sofia to Sliven for the joke he made that three "Toshko"s were making the Bulgarians laugh ("Toshko" is the shortened for "Todor" in Bulgarian) - the Communist dictator Todor Zhivkov, the clown Toshko Kozarev and himself.
