Anthony Dexter
Anthony John "Tony" Dexter (January 19, 1913 – March 27, 2001) was an American actor known for his striking resemblance to silent film hero Rudolph Valentino, whom he portrayed in the 1951 biographic ''Valentino''. Dexter sometimes used the pseudonym Walter Craig. He was known for portraying many real-life characters such as Captain John Smith, Captain William Kidd, Billy the Kid and Christopher Columbus.
==Biography==
Born Walter Reinhold Alfred Fleischmann in Nebraska, he earned an athletic scholarship to St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota and later earned a Master of Arts from the University of Iowa.〔(''Los Angeles Times'' obituary )〕 During World War II he served in the U.S. Army's Special Services in England earning the rank of Sergeant.〔(IMDb bio )〕 After the war he performed on Broadway productions of ''The Three Sisters'', ''Ah, Wilderness'' and ''The Barretts of Wimpole Street''.
When preparing a film biography of Rudolph Valentino ''Valentino'', producer Edward Small chose Dexter for the lead from over 75,000 applicants and 400 screen tests.〔Groppa, Carlos G. ''The Tango in the United States: A History'' McFarland, p. 164〕 His incredible likeness to Valentino led to a contract with Columbia Pictures but hampered him in achieving substantial film roles as when he broke his contract with Edward Small due to his wanting to use him exclusively in Valentino type roles, but soon found other producers wished him to do the same-for less money. He also made three unsuccessful television pilots two of them swashbucklers.〔(Anthony Dexter profile )〕
After his movie career ended, Dexter, now known as Walter Craig, taught high school English, Speech, and Drama classes at Eagle Rock High School (circa 1968-78) in the Los Angeles area.〔 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0186045/bio 〕 When he retired from teaching, Mr. Craig moved to Greeley, Colorado, where he lived until his death on March 27, 2001. He is survived by two daughters, Kimberly and Claudia, and four grandchildren.〔 http://www.gildasattic.com/dexterbio.html 〕
