Biography
6'2" and weighing 210 pounds, European-born stunt performer Al Baffert was highly noticeable in action melodramas from his debut in the late '20s until at least 1959, when he appeared briefly in the low-budget Alaska Passage. Among Baffert's other screen adventures were the 1928 serial The Chinatown Mystery, in which he quite incongruously was beaten to a pulp by diminutive Joe Bonomo; What Price Crime?, as a wrestler; and as Utah the bartender opposite the Three Stooges in Gold Raiders (1951). ~ Hans J.
