Walter Woolf King
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Woolf King (November 2, 1899 - October 24, 1984) was a singer, performer, and film actor born in San Francisco, California. He died of a heart attack in Beverly Hills, California. King began singing for a living at a young age and sang mostly in churches. He made his Broadway theatre debut in 1919, and developed a reputation as a baritone in musical comedies and other musical performances. King advertised himself as Walter Woolf and Walter King in his early career, eventually settling on a combination of all three names, Walter Woolf King, in the mid 1930s.
Wolf discovered talking films and began as a lead in musicals but moved into more obscure villain roles in the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy films. He later became an actor's agent, occasionally appearing on television.
