Henry Rowland (actor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Rowland (b. December 28, 1913 in Omaha, Nebraska - d. April 26, 1984 in Northridge, California) was a film actor.

Rowland had heavily Teutonic facial features, making him an invaluable commodity in wartime films, even though he was born in the American Midwest. Rowland "heiled" and "achtunged" his way through films ranging such as Casablanca to Russ Meyer's Supervixens. Conversely, he showed up as an American flight surgeon in 1944's Winged Victory, billed under his military ranking as Corporal Henry Rowland. In his last years, Rowland had continued playing such Germanic characters as the Amish farmer in 1975's The Frisco Kid.
