Personal Quote:
[on the interview with Cecil B. DeMille that led to his being cast in DeMille's final film] He was disappointed in my stature. He wanted me for the part of Joshua, the stonecutter, in The Ten Commandments (1956). He had studied me for months and knew more about me than I knew about myself. I was so used to being rushed through interviews that I stumbled over my words for the first fifteen minutes... See more »Trivia:
In 1944 he was drafted into the United States Army and serviced in the Philippines during the last days of World War II. See more »Star Sign:
