In 1922, he came to Hollywood to put on a knife demonstration for a disbelieving director. He was trusted to throw knives in movies that had to land an inch or two away from a celebrity. He always got right on target, and developed a good reputation for stunts. He was a known scene stealer and was famous for his villainous snarl. He later appeared in such movies as The Most Dangerous Game (1932), playing Tartar, the second henchman of Count Zarrof and played the Witch King in King Kong (1933) and its sequel Son of Kong (1933).

After his last movie, Perils of Nyoka (1942), he retired from the acting scene. On May 7, 1950, he died from a cerebral hemorrhage.

gollark: You can apparently just shove stuff into index funds, ignore it for ages, and get decent return over time.
gollark: > do you even have an OLED device? just curiousI do not. It would be very inconsistent of me to dislike OLED things but then go and buy a phone with one.
gollark: This is why OLED displays are uncool. LCD gang.
