Dark-haired, 11-year-old Julius Molnar Jr. played the star-crossed carnival freak Gwynplaine as a child in The Man Who Laughs (1928) and delivered one of the strongest performances of any child actor in the entire silent era. Oddly enough, neither this role nor playing Otto Matiesen as a boy in the experimental The Lost Moment (1928) made young Molnar a star and his subsequent appearances were unbilled bit parts. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
