Character actor, Ian Wolfe, was born on Nov 4, 1896 in Canton, IL. Wolfe died at the age of 95 on Jan 23, 1992 in Los Angeles, CA .

MINI BIO:

Ian Wolfe was a gaunt, mean-looking American actor. His characters, though mostly minor, frequently carried a quiet menace that sent a shiver down the spine. He came to films in his late thirties (almost always in humorless supporting roles), but certainly made up for the late start. Over 140 films later, he was still acting, only retiring at age 85.
