MINI BIO:
Austrian-born actor. In America from an early age, he was a professional footballer and wrestler before taking his huge frame to Hollywood to play hoodlums' henchmen. Dim-looking (but actually well-educated), with hook nose, open mouth and aggressive, small-eyed stare, he would have done any Damon Runyon story proud, and became the definitive Moose Malloy in the 1945 version of Raymond Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely.

Mouse: Do you think he has an even chance to keep them off us... and still get through?
Roshko: With him, the chance is always better than even.
Sr. First Sergeant: [a Cossack] kills Poles just because they're Poles. Like we're trying to kill Indians just because they're Indians.
Capt. Thomas Archer: Come on, Wichowski. You fought Indians before!
Sr. First Sergeant: I fought Indians who wanted to fight me, not just some poor blanket-heads trying to go home!
