Biography
German-Jewish leading comedian and character actor of stage and screen under the name of Siegfried Arno before the Nazi era. He acted in ninety films in Germany, including G.W. Pabst's Pandora's Box with Louise Brooks, before he left Germany in 1933, touring the Continent until 1939 before reaching the USA.
During the next twenty years in Hollywood he appeared in over fifty movies, often playing waiters, maitre d's and "funny Europeans".

He may be best remembered from The Palm Beach Story (1942) as Toto, the nonsense-talking mustachioed man who hopelessly pursues Mary Astor's "Princess Centimillia".
