Arthur Hohl

Biography

Arthur Hohl was an American character actor who worked on both the stage and the screen. Born in Pittsburgh, he performed on Broadway in plays by Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw and Henrik Ibsen, and some of his stage parts, such as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in a Broadway revival of Twelfth Night in 1930, were considerably bigger than the roles he got in films. On screen he was a supporting player, playing Pete, the boat engineer, in Show Boat (1936) and Mr. Montgomery in Island of Lost Souls (1932). He was Brutus in Cecil B. DeMille's Cleopatra (1934), Olivier in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), and Journet, an innkeeper out for revenge, in The Scarlet Claw (1944). He also played Titus in DeMille's The Sign of the Cross (1932) and had a part in Monsieur Verdoux (1947).
