In 1916 he went to Kosice (Kassa) to be an actor; in 1918 he became an actor specializing in comedy. For ten years he was the most popular character player and romantic lead of the company. In 1918 he began making movies in Budapest and in the 1920s he began appearing in films in Austria as well. He journeyed to Hollywood in 1927, where he finally settled down. He wasn't untrue to the stage--he played Dr. Rank to Ruth Gordon's Nora in Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House" in the Morosco Theatre in New York in 1937--but concentrated on films until 1948. In the '50s he started appearing on stage more and more, and worked in films and on TV only sporadically. Spouse (3) Annette M. Driesens (7 November 1963 - 16 August 1971) ( his death) Gizella "Daisy" Benes (1927 - 1962) ( her death) Became a U. S. Citizen in 1933 and won the Academy Award 1943 for Watch on the Rhine (1943).

His cousin, Edwin J. Lucas, was the second husband of Betty Field. Gossip columnist Sheilah Graham reported in 1941 that he was an extremely serious tennis player. During a game of doubles with Charles Butterworth, Lukas reportedly asked bystanders to stop talking because their chatter was very "dis-attracting". On August 29, 2019, he was honored with a day of his film work during the Turner Classic Movies Summer Under the Stars. He appeared in three Best Picture Oscar nominees: Little Women (1933), Dodsworth (1936), and Watch on the Rhine (1943). Personal Quotes (1) [on his role in Watch on the Rhine (1943), which he originally played on Broadway] The writing is so right you don't have to learn the part. It sticks to you. I amuse myself by changing a gesture occasionally.

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living. For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations. I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it. In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.
My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
