Biography
A rakish-looking, often mustachioed bit-part player, Eddie Foster (born Eddie Eleck) could play any nationality -- including Mexican (
Men of the Night, 1934) and Egyptian (
The Mummy's Hand, 1940) -- but was almost exclusively cast as thugs. Onscreen from 1932, Foster appeared in a total of ten serials, including
Queen of the Jungle (1935),
Mandrake the Magician (1939), and
Captain Video (1951). He continued his skullduggery well into the television era and became a regular on Commando Cody: Skymaster of the Universe (1953). ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
