Tauno Valdemar Palo (25 October 1908 in Hämeenlinna – 24 May 1982 in Helsinki) was a Finnish actor and singer in what some consider the golden age of Finnish cinema.
He was born Tauno Brännäs but changed his name in 1935. His leading lady was frequently Ansa Ikonen. His most famous films were perhaps Kulkurin Valssi ("Vagabond's Waltz") and Vaimoke ("Wifeling"). He appeared with actress/singer Birgit Kronström in the 1941 romantic comedy "Onnellinen ministeri" ("Happy Minister"), which included the famous song "Katupoikien Laulu", remade by other Finnish pop singers including Katri Helena. In Kulkurin Valssi, he uttered perhaps the most famous words in the history of Finnish film, "I will be remembered not as the mere shadow of the man I once was, but as the mere shadow of the man I am now."
