Personal Quote:
[on playing so many "heavies"] I like to play the heavy because they pretty well leave you alone, unless you go overboard. I love the heavies, and I love the reaction I get from people. "Why are you so mean on screen? You're not a mean guy at all". Most of the people I know that played really nasty heavies, Bob Wilke [Robert J. Wilke], Mickey Simpson . . . they are the nicest guys in the world.Trivia:
He died on October 30, 1990, as did Tom Steele, with whom he co-starred in the serial Trader Tom of the China Seas (1954).Star Sign:
