Personal Quote:

[on his past associations with "progressive" causes] Actors are emotional. If somebody would come up to us and say, "Sign here. Everybody's doing it for civil liberties", or "Sign here to save the bread of children of writers banned from the studios because of their political beliefs", I would sign because it was a right cause in which I believed.

Trivia:

He landed a nonpaying job at Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory, where he was recommended to legendary acting teachers Maria Ouspenskaya and Richard Boleslawski. See more »
