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.
