His performances in 'The black swan' (1942), 'This gun for hire' (1942), 'Heaven can wait' (1943) and 'The Lodger' (1944) are now classic but his name is forgotten. He died while on a crash diet during the making of ' Hangover Square' in 1944 at the age of 28. An actor that always caught my eyes when watching his films, but a name I couldn't remember. Sadly I know very little of him besides the films I've seen, and hoped someone had some info on whatever trivial thing you know. That would be worth alot to me.
