He was regarded a master of deadpan comedy, often playing the roles of mobsters or gangsters. He co-starred in classics such as “Scarface” (1932), “You Can't Cheat an Honest Man” (1939), and “The Glass Key” (1942) – all of which earned him numerous accolades and nominations throughout his extensive career.

He is survived by his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
