MINI BIO:
Dark, scurrying, usually mustachioed little American actor, just as likely to be a dapper small-time crook or the unkempt Arab in the market-place trying to sell you his wares. Played many nationalities in his time - occasionally even his own! Fairly busy in films until 1966 (although almost always in small roles), and then increasingly tied up in television to the end of his career. Died from cancer.
