Actor. Born in Budzanov, Austria, he emigrated to the United States with his family in 1908. He began acting in plays as a teenager and joined the New York City Theatre Group in 1931. He performed in some notable plays through the 1930s and joined the Manhattan Actors' Studio in the 1940s. Although he remained primarily as stage performer, he did appear in a number feature films such as "Storm in a teacup" (1937), "The Third Man" (1949), "China Venture" (1953) and "The Gun Runners" (1958).
