Morris Carnovsky was a distinguished stage actor whose burgeoning Hollywood career was curtailed by the McCarthy era blacklisting. A founding member of the influential Group Theatre, Carnovsky excelled in significant roles in Clifford Odets' plays, establishing himself as a formidable talent. Though he made notable early film appearances, his refusal to 'name names' before the House... more Un-American Activities Committee led to his effective banishment from cinema.
