scsu1975 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Not Mostel. This guy goes back a lot further than Mostel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 This is a tough one, because in that photo, he does not look like he usually does. So far, we've ruled out Alexander Scourby, Anthony Quayle, and Zero Mostel. We know he goes back further than Mostel, and we know he was not known for dramatic parts. Next clue: he was very popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsu1975 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Not Bressart. Let's recap: So far, we've ruled out Alexander Scourby, Anthony Quayle, Zero Mostel, Curley, Billy Gilbert, and Felix Bressart. We know he goes back further than Mostel, and we know he was not known for dramatic parts. We know he was very popular in the 1930s and 1940s, was not part of a comedy team, and was not born in the United States. Next clue: you're probably more used to seeing him with a mustache.
