- Actor
- Director

American character actor. Upon his entry into films in 1930, he was
typecast as a weakling or criminal type. He received great acclaim for
his role as Garth Esdras, the haunted and hunted accessory to murder in
Sous les ponts de New-York (1936). Memorable as the weaselly convict who tries to kill James Cagney at
Steve Cochran's behest, but gets his just deserts in the trunk of a car, in
L'enfer est à lui (1949). After two decades as a film actor, he made a small foray into
film directing. He died at 58.
