Tough-looking, thin-lipped American character actor and voice-over artist, usually seen in stern authoritarian roles as cops, doctors or military types. Featured in many television and radio commercials. A familiar face in science fiction and crime films of the 1950's.

His final three television appearances aired from 1 to 7 months after his death.

Uttered one of the most famous lines in film noir as a doctor in Com as Horas Contadas (1949), telling a poisoned yet alive man portrayed by Edmond O'Brien, "You've been murdered.".
