Ilush Khoshabe (1932–2012) was an Iranian bodybuilder and actor who was born to Assyrian parents in Geogtapa, Iran.[1] In Assyrian, the name Khoshabe (or Khoshaba) means 'Sunday.' He appeared in a number of films produced across the Middle East and Europe under a variety of pseudonyms,[2][3] including Rod Flash Ilush, Richard Lloyd, Iloosh Khoshabe, and the mononyms Ilush and Iloosh.
