Jan Merlin

Jan Merlin is a screen veteran of the old school who has outlasted trends, studios and formats. 'Buried Alive' is another title that gets mentioned. 1946 is the year the filmography opens. Casting directors have gone to him for crime more than for anything else. Neither the cinema nor the television half of the career can be called the side project. The film 'Take the Money and Run' accounts for more of the public profile than anything else does.
