William Edmunds(1885-1981)

  • Actor
  • Soundtrack
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Despite his Anglicized name, Edmunds was usually cast as dark or Latin types: Spaniards, Mexicans, Frenchmen, Gypsies, Arabs, Polynesians, and other exotic nationalities and functioned as a sort of poor-man's 'J. Carroll Naish'. Born in Italy in 1891, Edmunds is especially remembered for his Italian roles: Une cloche pour Adano (1945), Moments perdus (1947), and, most notably, Mr. Martini in La vie est belle (1946).
