Personal Quote:

My career as an actor was quite by chance. I was standing on a Hollywood corner waiting to cross the street when I was discovered by a movie talent scout. I was persuaded that I was just what was needed to play a native of the jungles in the first Tarzan pictures. See more »

Trivia:

Played God in one movie ( The Green Pastures) and the devil in another ( Cabin in the Sky). See more »
