• • Perhaps you recall seeing the muscular Belgian bit part player in "I'm No Angel" [1933] as Omnes. Born in Antwerp, Belgium on 1 November 1904, Georges Bruggeman launched his career in Hollywood in 1932. Often cast in athletic roles such as a trapeze artist, trainer, or dancer, or in "take charge" positions such as an officer, or a French policeman, soldier, sailor, or general's aide, Georges Bruggeman was featured in almost five dozen projects that were televised or in the cinema.
• • His final appearances were in 1963 in "A New Kind of Love" and "Wives and Lovers." At age 62, Bruggeman died in North Hollywood in the month of June — — on 9 June 1967.
