Biography:A graduate of Columbia University and a veteran stage actor, New York-born "Charles La Torre" played the Italian military officer Tonelli in "Casablanca" (1942). That was perhaps a highlight in a screen career spent portraying every ethnic type possible, from a Portuguese café proprietor in "The Hairy Ape" (1944) to an Arabic villain, Abdullah, in Bomba and the Hidden City (1950). This "Charles La Torre", who appeared in hundreds of feature films, comedy shorts, and television shows from 1941-1966, should not be confused with Charles Latorre, an African-American player who appeared in several "Oscar Micheaux" films of the late '30s. ~ Hans J.
