Skelton Knaggs

'Skelton Knaggs' (qv) was a diminutive, emaciated-looking actor who more or less picked up where the late 'Dwight Frye' (qv) left off in the early forties, and created a marvelous gallery of eccentric or sinister background characters in various movies. Two of his most memorable roles: as the constantly grumbling villager Steinmuhl in Universal's _House of Dracula (1945)_ (qv), and the mute Finn who "narrates" RKO's _The Ghost Ship (1943)_ (qv).::Peter W.
