Biography

Gordon's acting career flourished throughout the early 1940s, as he frequently appeared in films and on radio, donning his iconic persona of "The Mad Russian". This eccentric character was instantly recognizable due to his striking "steel wool" haircut and distinctive ears, which had a peculiar tendency to wiggle. However, it was Gordon's signature taglines, "How do you do!" and "Do you mean it?", that truly set him apart and cemented his place in the hearts of audiences.
