Perc Launders Movies
A busy Hollywood studio musician,
Perc Launders eased into acting in 1941, when he played the brakeman in
Preston Sturges'
Sullivan's Travels. Until his retirement in 1952, Launders worked at Paramount, Universal and RKO as a general-purpose actor. With such rare exceptions as "Zolton" in RKO's
The Falcon in Hollywood (1945), the actor's screen characters were nameless, and often lineless. One of the unsung legion of Tinseltown bit players, Perc Launders played countless bartenders, clerks, cops, onlookers and pedestrians. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
