Biography
Ralf Harolde was an American character actor who appeared in 99 films between 1920 and 1963, often in gangster parts. Born in Pittsburgh, he began as an extra at the Empire Theatre there, and his first speaking role, in the comedy Officer 666 in 1917, also gave him the name he used from then on. After seasons with stock companies in Lincoln, Nebraska, Wilkes-Barre and Columbus, Ohio, he moved into pictures. He played opposite Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney in Smart Money (1931), with Cagney and Bette Davis in Jimmy the Gent (1934) and Barbara Stanwyck and Clark Gable in Night Nurse (1931), and he appeared with Mae West in I'm No Angel (1933), Laurel and Hardy in Our Relations (1936) and Dick Powell in Murder, My Sweet (1944).
