Timeline

Griffith was so impressed with Corrado's performance that he hired him on as a stock player for $35 per week (about $750 in 2019 dollars), then promptly laid off him and many others until his studio was consolidated from New York. For the next five years, Corrado worked at various studios, using a variety of Americanized names to avoid the discrimination that was prevalent at the time, finally settling on "Gino Corrado," although he never legally changed it. About the time that motion pictures went to sound, Corrado, who had a thick Italian accent, was offered fewer mainstream parts. It was at this point that he developed his niche: a restaurant worker, usually a waiter. He is believed to have appeared in such a role in over 400 film roles during his career.

Corrado worked for other restaurants, managed an apartment building, and did other work until health concerns forced him to retire in the mid 1970's.

In 1966, a dispute forced him to sell his share of the restaurant to his partner. Without Corrado's daily attentions, the restaurant soon lost most of its business and closed a year later.

After Abruzzi's unexpectedly closed two years later, Corrado worked at various restaurants before opening his own Italian restaurant in 1956. It was named "Gino Corrado" and known to locals and patrons as simply "Gino's. " The restaurant was located on Ventura Blvd. (then Highway 101) in Encino. While not as large as others in the area, the restaurant, which specialized in affordable Florentine cuisine, was a popular spot, being frequented by such as Glenn Ford, Shirley MacLaine, Clint Eastwood, and even William Holden.

In 1953, he helped open Abruzzi's on Sunset Strip and was given a minor share in the restaurant. At that point, Corrado essentially retired from the film industry.

"The screen workers strike of 1947 convinced filmmakers to stop using lavish sets and hundreds or thousands of extras, which made it difficult for Corrado to get work. At that point, and ironically, Corrado made the transition from movies to real life in the restaurant business, as a waiter or chef.

Probably best known as the hot-tempered Italian opera singer who gets his revenge on The Three Stooges in Micro-Phonies (1945).

Appeared uncredited as a waiter in both Citizen Kane (1941) and in Casablanca (1942), the only actor to appear in both films. He also appeared in three other legendary films: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Gone with the Wind (1939) and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).

He appeared in three Best Picture Academy Award winners, the first two of which were in consecutive years: Gone with the Wind (1939), Rebecca (1940) and Casablanca (1942). He also appeared in Sunrise (1927), which won for Best Picture (Unique and Artistic Production) in 1927, as well as 15 other Best Picture nominees: A Farewell to Arms (1932), Viva Villa! (1934), One Night of Love (1934), Top Hat (1935), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Dodsworth (1936), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), Foreign Correspondent (1940), The Great Dictator (1940), Kitty Foyle (1940), Citizen Kane (1941), The Talk of the Town (1942), Wilson (1944) and Three Coins in the Fountain (1954).

The reliable Corrado found much work throughout the 1930's and well into the 1940's; if a role called for an Italian, a waiter, or a chef, Corrado was one of the first on the list called by the casting department. He is probably best remembered for his work in the Three Stooges shorts, especially "Micro Phonies.

At a chance meeting with actor-director Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle in 1916, Corrado was convinced to go to Hollywood, which was rapidly becoming the mecca of movie making. The main film in production at that time was D. W. Griffith's lavish epic "Intolerance. " Corrado managed to see Griffith, who cast him as "The Runner" in the Babylon scene.

He dropped out later due to family financial reasons, and his family moved to California, eventually settling in San Diego in 1912, where the young Corrado worked as a waiter and artisan, building many sets for the then-thriving San Diego film industry.

In 1908 he rejoined his family in Chicago and was sent to a seminary to continue his Jesuit studies.

In 1904 the families moved to Chicago, but Gino and a brother were returned to Italy to study for the priesthood at a Jesuit monastery. It was here that he received his classical training in the arts.

In 1895, Carlo Liserani, brother Cyrus, and their families emigrated to the United States, settling near Coney Island in New York, where the men took up jobs in construction and masonry as artisan craftsmen.

Gino Corrado Liserani was born in Pisa, Italy in 1893, the son of Carlo Liserani, a marble and art dealer. Corrado grew up in Florence.
