Edward G. Robinson
To a degree Edward G. Robinson was fortunate to have had the career he did. He was 5'5" tall with a lived-in sort of body (he loathed exercise) and a face that to call it plain is a compliment. A romantic leading man he was not and he knew it as well as his bosses. Fortunately he was a supreme craftsman, giving beautifully measured performances that commanded one to watch his every move. Additionally, he landed at a studio that was the perfect match.
