Luis d'Antin van Rooten (November 29, 1906 – June 17, 1973) was a Mexican-born American actor. Van Rooten was born in Mexico City, Mexico, and emigrated to the United States with his parents when he was eight, growing up in Pennsylvania.
He earned his BA at the University of Pennsylvania and worked as an architect before deciding to pursue film work in Hollywood during World War II.
His facility with languages made van Rooten an in-demand military radio announcer during the war, and he conducted a variety of broadcasts in Italian, Spanish, and French.
This led into film work, often in roles requiring an accent or skill with dialects.
He was sometimes credited as Louis Van Rooten.
