actor, additional crew

Clarence Kolb was born on Jul 31, 1874 in USA. Clarence Kolb's big-screen debut came with Bluff directed by Rae Berger in 1916, strarring Louie (as C. William Kolb). Clarence Kolb is known for Man of a Thousand Faces directed by Joseph Pevney, James Cagney stars as Lon Chaney and Dorothy Malone as Cleva Creighton Chaney. The upcoming new movie Clarence Kolb plays is Man of a Thousand Faces which will be released on Nov 19, 1957.

Contrary to his familiar image, Clarence Kolb started out as one half of a vaudeville comedy act, Kolb and Dill. He made a few shorts in 1916 and a feature in 1917, but went back to vaudeville and the stage immediately thereafter, and did not return to films until the late 1930s. His stern, authoritarian looks and booming voice fit the irascible, bombastic politicians and businessmen--usually crooked to a greater or lesser degree--he played so well. Best remembered as the fast-talking, corrupt mayor in the classic La dame du vendredi (1940) and Mr. Honeywell, Vern Albright's boss, in the TV series My Little Margie (1952).
