Rondo Hatton (April 22, 1894 – February 2, 1946) was an American journalist and occasional film actor with a minor career playing thuggish bit and extra parts in Hollywood B movies, culminating in his elevation to horror movie star-status with Universal Studios in the last two years of his life, and posthumously as a movie cult icon.
He was known for his unique facial features, which were the result of acromegaly, a syndrome caused by a disorder of the pituitary gland.
