Personal Quote:

Most actors object to typing. I don't. In the first place, it is the public who types an actor, not the studio. If an actor is so good in a certain character, he can afford to submerge his urge to portray many parts in favor of a neat financial return. Yes sir, give me a character that American actors want to see me in and typing won't worry me. See more »

Baxter became a member of The Lambs, a professional theatrical club in NYC, in 1918. See more »
