MARC LAWRENCE very nice glossy 8x10 signed photograph. Pose is from the early 1990's and was signed during that time.MARC LAWRENCE February 17, 1910 - November 28, 2005) was an American character actor who specialized in underworld types.Lawrence appeared in films beginning in 1931. Lawrence's pock-marked complexion, brooding appearance and New York street-guy accent made him a natural for heavies, and he played scores of gangsters and mob bosses over the next six decades. Later, Lawrence found himself under scrutiny for his political leanings. When called before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he admitted he had once been a member of the Communist Party. He named Sterling Hayden, Lionel Stander, Anne Revere, Larry Parks, Karen Morley and Jeff Corey as Communists. He was blacklisted and departed for Europe, where he continued to make films. Following the demise of the blacklist, he returned to America and resumed his position as a familiar and talented purveyor of gangland types. He played gangsters in two James Bond movies: 1971's Diamonds Are Forever opposite Sean Connery, and 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun opposite Roger Moore. He also portrayed a henchman opposite Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man (1976) and a stereotypical Miami mob boss alongside Jerry Reed and Dom DeLuise in the comedy Hot Stuff (1979).One of his last roles was as Mr. Zeemo in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Badda-Bing Badda-Bang", which aired in February 1999. Previously he played the elderly Gatherer Volnoth in the 1989 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Vengeance Factor".His final film role was in Looney Tunes Back in Action (2003), appearing as an Acme Corporation vice president.Lawrence died on November 28, 2005 at the age of 95.MARC LAWRENCE's many movies included: If I Had a Million (1932) as Henchman of Mike the Gangster (uncredited) Gambling Ship (1933) as Hood (uncredited) Her First Mate (1933) as Orderly with Message (uncredited) Lady for a Day (1933) as Nick - Mug at Reception (uncredited) White Woman (1933) as Connors Straight Is the Way (1934) as Monk's Henchmen (uncredited) Death on the Diamond (1934) as Bookies' Doorman (uncredited) Million Dollar Baby (1934) G Men (1935) as Gangster Killed at Lodge (uncredited) Go Into Your Dance (1935) as Eddie Logan (uncredited) Strangers All (1935) as Communist Meeting Chairman (uncredited) Men of the Hour (1935) as Joe The Arizonian (1935) as Henchman Who Pistol-Whipped Clay (uncredited) Don't Bet on Blondes (1935) as Gangster #6 (uncredited) After the Dance (1935) as Tom - a Prisoner (uncredited) Little Big Shot (1935) as Doré's Henchman Dr. Socrates (1935) as Lefty Croger - a Gangster (uncredited) Three Kids and a Queen (1935) as Gangster (uncredited) Road Gang (1936) as Pete (Friendly Convict) Don't Gamble with Love (1936) as Gambler (uncredited) Love on a Bet (1936) as County Fair Barker (uncredited) Robin Hood of El Dorado (1936) as Manuel (uncredited) Desire (1936) as Charles the Valet (uncredited) Under Two Flags (1936) as Grivon (uncredited) Counterfeit (1936) as Dint Coleman Trapped by Television (1936) as Frank Griffin (uncredited) The Final Hour (1936) as Mike Magellon Blackmailer (1936) as Pinky (uncredited) The Cowboy Star (1936) as Johnny Sampson Charlie Chan at the Opera (1936) as Undetermined Minor Role (uncredited) Night Waitress (1936) as Dorn - a Henchman Racketeers in Exile (1937) as 'Blackie' White Motor Madness (1937) as Gus Slater I Promise to Pay (1937) as Henchman Whitehat Criminals of the Air (1937) as 'Blast' Reardon San Quentin (1937) as Venetti What Price Vengeance?
