A decade later he would migrate to Hollywood for his earliest surviving film appearance in the 1919 serial, \u003ci\u003eThe Masked Rider\u003c\/i\u003e. He began to appear in other cliffhangers including \u003ci\u003eThe Hope Diamond Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e (1920) and \u003ci\u003eKing Of The Wild\u003c\/i\u003e (1930) often cast as the exotic evil-doer. He portrays a half breed fur trader in 1929's \u003ci\u003ePhantoms of the North\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Utah Kid\u003c\/i\u003e. 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, \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Utah Kid\u003c\/i\u003e (1930, B\u0026amp;W):\u003c\/b\u003e Stars Rex Lease, Boris Karloff, Dorothy Sebastion, Lafe McKee; Directed by Richard Thorpe.
