MINI BIO:
Rex Ingram was a formidable black American actor with powerful features, born on a riverboat and growing up to become an honors medical graduate. He succumbed to the lure of acting soon afterwards, but it was years before he gained recognition in films with his starring performance as "De Lawd" in "Green Pastures". He was also impressive as the genie in the 1940 version of "The Thief of Bagdad" (having had a very minor assignment in the silent version), but most of his other roles were unworthy of his talents. He died from a heart attack.
