Dan Seymour

Stocky, swarthy character actor with a quiet, insinuating voice, who began appearing onscreen in the early 1940s and graced dozens of films thereafter, most memorably as ominous and snidely unpleasant villains. A reliable actor busy through the late 50s, Seymour played one of his best-remembered roles in "Casablanca" (1943), as Abdul the Arab, the door guard of Rick's casino. He also acted opposite Bogart in "To Have and Have Not" (1944) and "Key Largo" (1948) in somewhat more sizable roles.
