built 655 days ago
Paul Lukas ( May 26 , 1895 - August 15 , 1971 ) was a Hungarian actor. Born Pál Lukács in Budapest , he arrived in Hollywood in 1927 after a successful stage and film career in Hungary , Germany and Austria where he worked with Max Reinhardt . He made his stage debut in Budapest in 1916 and film debut in 1917. At first, he played elegant, smooth womanizers, but increasingly he became typecast as a villain. In 1933 , he became a naturalized citizen of the United States . He was very busy in the 1930s , but his major role came in 1943 's Watch on the Rhine , when he played a man working against the Nazi s (he had played the same role on Broadway in 1941). He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the role.

When Watch on the Rhine was casting, Paul Lukas had to talk his way out of the part of the man he shoots. Originally, Producer Shumlin had Lukas down for the Rumanian villain. Lukas' on-&-offstage persuasiveness subsequently won him 1) the New York Drama League's coveted Delia Austrian medal for 1941's most distinguished performance, 2) nine out of nine votes in Variety's critics' poll of the season's best acting. The National Fathers' Day Committee presented Lukas with a plaque (for the year's best portrayal of a stage father).

Bogart lost out to Paul Lukas, who starred in "Watch on the Rhine" alongside Bette Davis. Ingrid Bergman did not win either. In fact, she wasn't even nominated for her iconic role as Ilsa in "Casablanca." Instead, she earned a nod for her work in "For Whom the Bell Tolls," but lost the Oscar to Best Actress winner Jennifer Jones.
