Leonid Kinskey

Leonid Kinskey

Leonid Kinskey (April 18, 1903 - September 8, 1998) was a Russian-born movie and television actor who enjoyed a long career.

Kinskey was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. He fled the Russian Revolution and acted on stage in Europe and South America before arriving in New York City in 1921. He joined the road production of Al Jolson's musical "Wonder Bar", before making his first film appearance, in the 1932 "Trouble in Paradise". His looks and accent helped him land supporting roles in numerous movies, including "Duck Soup" and "Nothing Sacred", and on television, well into the 1960s. It is said that he got perhaps his best-known role, Sascha in "Casablanca", because he was a drinking buddy of star Humphrey Bogart. Kinskey was in the pilot episode for "Hogan's Heroes", but turned down a regular role in the series because he thought the premise was too absurd and unfunny to succeed.

Kinskey was married three times. His second wife was actress Iphigenie Castiglioni, to whom he remained married until her death in 1963. He was married to Tina York from 1983 to his death. He died of complications of a stroke in Fountain Hills, Arizona.
