A decade later he would migrate to Hollywood for his earliest surviving film appearance in the 1919 serial, The Masked Rider\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;. He began to appear in other cliffhangers including The Hope Diamond Mystery\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; (1920) and King Of The Wild\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; (1930) often cast as the exotic evil-doer. He portrays a half breed fur trader in 1929's Phantoms of the North\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;, included in this collection. With the introduction of sound, he found substantial supporting parts such as the henchman with the British accent, as seen here in The Utah Kid\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;. This is a truly lost film mastered from the only known existing print. The following year he would rise to international super stardom and Hollywood legend, in James Whale's 1931 horror classic, Frankenstein\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;.\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Utah Kid\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; (1930, B\u0026amp;W):\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; Stars Rex Lease, Boris Karloff, Dorothy Sebastion, Lafe McKee; Directed by Richard Thorpe.
