Harold Huber (born Harold Joseph Huberman, December 5, 1909 â€"
September 29, 1959) was an American actor who appeared on film, radio
and television.Huber was born in the Bronx to Jewish immigrants from
Imperial Russia, who had arrived in the United States as infants. His
father was the manager of an optical firm. Harold Huberman entered New
York University in the Fall of 1925 at age sixteen. He was a member of
the university debate team, and by his third year had become editor of
a school magazine called The Medley. His tenure at that post was
marked by an incident, reported in the newspapers, when the
administration suspended publication of The Medley in May 1928 for
printing "low humor...not fit to bear the name of New York
University".After graduating from NYU in 1929, Huberman attended
Columbia University for a short time, reportedly in the School of Law,
but apparently dropped out after getting his first acting job in
1930.On September 22, 1930, Harold Huberman became Harold Huber, for a
Broadway adaption of A Farewell to Arms. This first acting job lasted
a month. He also appeared in the Broadway productions The Assassin
(1945), Merry-Go-Round (1932), Two Seconds (1931), and First Night
(1930) before landing roles in some Warner Bros. films shot on
location in New York. His face was scarred in an amateur fencing
match, adding to his signature character image as heavies.
