Marc Lawrence

Highest Rated: 100% Hold That Ghost (1941)

Lowest Rated: 0% Krakatoa, East of Java (1969)

Birthday: Feb 17, 1910

Birthplace: New York, New York, USA

A swarthy American character player of more than 120 films since 1932, Marc Lawrence survived the blacklist in Hollywood by appearing in films overseas. When he returned to the USA, his familiar pock-marked face could be seen portraying gangsters and toughs well into the 1990s. Lawrence was usually cast in support or opposition to major stars, particularly in gangster films. He worked alongside the creme of the screen toughs (i.e., Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Paul Muni) sometimes taking a bullet for them, but projecting menace and sleaze throughout.
