1 | The lens is the actor's best critic... showing his mind more clearly than on the stage. You can get wonderful cooperation out of the lens if you are true, but God help you if you are not. Pictures are much harder to do than the theater... You're at the mercy of the camera angles and the piecemeal technique. |

1 | Karen Burroughs Hannsberry has a short biography of him in her book "Bad Boys: The Actors of Film Noir". |
2 | His characters in ''The Maltese Falcon'' and ''Casablanca'' were the inspiration for the Star Wars character Jabba The Hutt. |
3 | While appearing at Bryn Mawr College in '"As You Like it," his girth caused him to crash through the floor. after he emerged in sight of the audience, he delivered his next line without breaking stride. |
4 | Greenstreet had a great theatrical career before making his film debut in "The Maltese Falcon." He is reported to have acted in every major Shakespearean play and committed 12,000 lines of Shakepearean verse to memory. |
5 | Partially inspired the appearance of Jabba the Hut in the "Star Wars" series. When asked what the intergalactic gangster should look like by the designer, George Lucas replied, "A big blob, a huge mass of matter." The designer immediately thought of Greenstreet in Casablanca (1942). At one point during the production, a fez was placed on the final Jabba's head, to make him look like Greenstreet. |
6 | His little-known Cyrus Redblock role was recycled into another same-name character for the series Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), episode "The Big Good-Bye". Played fittingly by the late Lawrence Tierney. |
7 | Of the only 23 movies he appeared in, nine were with co-star Peter Lorre. |
8 | Author Tennessee Williams wrote his one-act play "The Last of My Solid Gold Watches" with Sydney Greenstreet in mind, and dedicated it to him. |
9 | His film career lasted a mere eight years and ended more than fifty-five years ago, yet he is one of the best remembered and most recognizable of all film actors. |
10 | Son, John Ogden Greenstreet died March 4, 2004 at age 84. |
11 | Starred as the title character on NBC Radio's "The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe" (1950-1951). |
12 | Interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, California, USA, in the Utility Columbarium area of the Great Mausoleum (not accessible for public viewing). |
