My Take
What strikes me about Paul Henreid is how much weight he carried in films I still love. He's the Victor Laszlo of Casablanca, the resistance hero who makes Rick's sacrifice mean something, and the romantic lead lighting two cigarettes at once in Now, Voyager. Born in Trieste in 1908 and standing a commanding 191 cm, he later moved behind the camera as a director too. I find it telling that he's remembered mostly through those wartime-era roles rather than a flashy persona. The Hollywood Walk of Fame star feels earned. He's one of those character actors who quietly anchors a classic.
