Biography

A renowned American thespian, distinguished by his thinning hairline and piercing gaze, initially made a name for himself as a vaudevillian performer and radio actor back in 1929. During the early days of cinema, he could be spotted in various silent films shot on the East Coast. Following a brief hiatus, he returned to the screen in 1937, going on to land a plethora of small yet memorable roles as clerks, bartenders, and shopkeepers.
