MINI BIO:

Dark-haired, German-born actor in American films, with eternally young, if slightly cruel-looking features. He had a leading role in his first film, a Laurel and Hardy feature comedy, as "the meanest man in Toyland," but star billing eluded him through 40 years of films until he appeared as the tiger-taming man of the wild in the big money-spinning When the North Wind Blows 1974, looking so little older you could barely credit it was the same actor who had threatened Buck Rogers with destruction in the 1930s. Died from a heart attack.

Dr. Carl Hunter: Maybe you will if you aren't trampled to death first or eaten alive or die of starvation.

Do you hear me? ...Always alone!


Black Cloud: It is Comanche that no man leads unless others follow.
