After serving in the British Transport Service during the Great War, I travelled to the United States and began his career on stage, first in musical comedy but then in original Broadway productions as Broadway (1928). Calleia began acting as a heavy in the play Small Miracle (1934), his first serious role as a heavy, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer placed him under contract. In films including Algiers (1938), Five Came Back (1939), Gilda (1946), and Calleia (1946), Calleia excelled as the villain in Hollywood films, but he fought against typecasting and created a sequence of darkly comic characters edged with humor. Calleia led the Malta War Relief group in the United States during World War II and toured for the USO and the Hollywood Victory Committee. * After the war, he continued to work in motion pictures and television, and he appeared in Arthur Miller's All My Sons, the 1948 London stage premiere.
