Emmanuel Goldenberg — whose theatrical name was Edward G. Robinson — was typecast as a gangster in the classic Little Caesar and a string of other films that followed.

You see, Edward G. was antifa — his Jewish family fled from anti-Semitic violence in Romania and as it turned out Hitler didn’t have a worse enemy than him in Hollywood.
