Actor. Motion picture and television figure whose career spanned from the 1930s until the 1990s.

He is famously connected to the 1939 film classic "Wizard of Oz," when, cast as the role of the Tin Woodsman, he developed an allergic reaction to the make-up required for the part, and had to withdraw (the role then going to Jack Haley).
