Did you know

  • Trivia
    Unfortunately, due to the racism of the era, his roles were limited to where he often played very degrading, stereotypical black characters who were usually frightened beyond exaggeration and/or brainless half-wits. Examples of these can be seen in Ladies They Talk About (1933), the "Our Gang" short Shrimps for a Day (1934), and Blondie Has Servant Trouble (1940).

    If I ever stop working I might as well not live. I love to work.
