MINI BIO:
Wide-mouthed, toad-faced and totally magnetic, Edward G. Robinson made his name in gangster films, spatting out dialog like bullets from a machine-gun. Robinson also brought great power to quieter roles. His career was somewhat harmed by the Communist witch-hunts. He received a Special Academy Award in 1972. In later life, he was acknowledged as an art expert and avid collector.

Would anything have happened to them if I had kept quiet?

Johnny Marshall: Nah, it's getting to be a habit.
Hank 'Gimpy' McHenry: What's the matter? Don't you like the food?
