William Edmunds(1885-1981)
- Actor

Despite his Anglicized name, Edmunds was usually cast as dark or Latin
types: Spaniards, Mexicans, Frenchmen, Gypsies, Arabs, Polynesians, and
other exotic nationalities and functioned as a sort of poor-man's 'J.
Carroll Naish'. Born in Italy in 1891, Edmunds is especially remembered
for his Italian roles:
A Bell for Adano (1945),
The Lost Moment (1947), and,
most notably, Mr. Martini in
It's a Wonderful Life (1946).
