Appeared in over 200 films. He had worked as a salesman and newspaper
reporter before breaking into movies near the end of the silent era.
Tall and tough, his starring roles in major pictures soon gave way to
supporting parts, mainly as a villain, in B movies and serials. His
elopement to Yuma, Arizona, in 1930 with a 17-year-old Loretta Young was
widely reported. From 1940 on, he took numerous supporting roles,
working until his suicide in 1959.
