George Zucco Overview:
Character actor, George Zucco, was born on Jan 11, 1886 in Manchester, England. Zucco died at the age of 74 on May 28, 1960 in Hollywood, CA .
MINI BIO:
George Zucco played uninteresting support roles in early British sound films. Then he went to Hollywood in 1936 where his deep, mellifluous voice and air of faintly-seedy-upper-class-menace soon made him the Boris Karloff of "B" features. His characters frequently dabbled in things best left alone, and from 1938 ("Charlie Chan in Honolulu") to 1948 ("Who Killed 'Doc' Robbin?"), he became associated with a whole run of doomed medical ventures. He died from pneumonia.
