Biography:Polish-born actor "John Bleifer" was often seen as skulking, sinister European types in the prewar films of 20th Century Fox. Bleifer had no trouble impersonating an Ivan in "Thank You, Mr. Moto" (1937), a Ludwig in "Charlie Chan at Monte Carlo" (1938), and a Pedro in "The Mark of Zorro" (1940), utilizing essentially the same accent in all three roles. During the war, Bleifer alternated between fascist villains and hapless refugees. Active until the early '80s, "John Bleifer" essayed such fleeting roles as Ben-Dan in "QB VII" (1974) and a rabbi in "The Frisco Kid" (1979). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
