Identify this actor:

Here is a snippet from a classic movie. Notice the barber, who is uncredited. I think it is a very young Leon Askin (Gen. Burkhalter from “Hogan’s Heroes”). Anyone else wanna opine???

Wow, that was a short clip. I see the resemblance, but I would say no it’s not. Nothing to go on, just my opinion.

“So tell me… kuh-nul Kleenk…”

I think it’s definitely General Burkhalter.

What’s the movie? Is it A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?

Without a doubt.

IMDB identifies the barber (uncredited) from that move as Peter Cusanelli. They also give his death date as 1954.

Hmmm. . . Don’t know how I missed that. Thanks!

I think it’s definitely General Burkhalter.

Oh, no! Thank YOU! My opportunities to contribute something substantive to SDMB are quite rare! :slight_smile:
