Personal Quote:
[on playing bad guy roles] I maintain that you have a head start playing the opposite of who you really are. Because you know what the opposite is. Somehow you know a little bit better. Especially if comedy is involved. I don't mean it in an arrogant way, but that's what I believe. See more »Trivia:
Attended the University of Texas at Austin in the early 1950s. See more »Trademark:
Usually plays characters that are "up to no good" See more »Star Sign:
