S. Z. Sakall

Szőke Szakáll (born Jakab Grünwald, other names: Gärtner Sándor and Gerő Jenő; February 2, 1883 February 12, 1955), known in the English-speaking world as S. Z. Sakall, was a Hungarian-American stage and film character actor. He appeared in many films, including ''Casablanca'' (1942), in which he played Carl, the head waiter; ''Christmas in Connecticut'' (1945); ''In the Good Old Summertime'' (1949); and ''Lullaby of Broadway'' (1951). Sakall played numerous supporting roles in Hollywood musicals and comedies in the 1940s and 1950s. His rotund cuteness caused studio head Jack Warner to bestow on Sakall the nickname "Cuddles".
