Biography

He starred opposite Gloria Swanson in the 1929 film Queen Kelly[2] and appeared in 66 films between 1926 and 1942. He first sailed to the United States on the R.M.S. Aquitania under contact with Samuel Goldwyn Productions, in 1928. In 1932, in order to gain permanent legal immigrant status, he crossed the border at Calexico into Mexico and then reentered the United States there under the new status. He became a United States citizen in 1954.

Selected filmography
gollark: It would be neat if you could *sell* unemployment too.
gollark: Hmm, yes, fair point. Split the research in half and make *half* of it public and the *other* half not public!
gollark: This is a time in which it would be totally possible to just stick the PDFs (or EPUBs/HTML, which are superior) on a website or something at reasonably low cost.
gollark: If it's publicly funded, it should be available to anyone (at least anyone in the country), at no cost.
gollark: Yes, which is bad.
