Fred Snowflake Toones was a character actor who appeared in over 200 films between 1928 and 1951. He often worked under contract for Republic Pictures, appearing in about 40 of its films.He played a bootblack or shoeshine man in at least six of his movies, and Toones actually ran the shoeshine stand at Republic Studios.He first appeared as a porter in 1932 in The Hurricane Express and was usually typecast as a porter - appearing in over 50 films in such a role. He also played a variety of other service-oriented or domestic worker roles such as stable grooms, janitors, elevator operators, valets, cooks, bellhops, doormen, butlers, and bartenders. Like other actors of the time, i.e. Anna May Wong and Franklin Pangborn, Toones is a prime example of racial and social stereotyping in the Hollywood film industry.His standard characterization was that of a middle-aged colored man with a high-pitched voice and childlike mannerisms.Snowflake was the stage name Toones was best known by, and he used this name as his credit as early as his third film, 1931s Shanghaied Love. Likewise, in Shanghaied Love and over 35 other films, Snowflake was also Toones character name.He acted in films such as Mississippi (1935), Hawk of the Wilderness (1938), and Daredevils of the Red Circle (1939) with Bruce Bennett and in many B westerns such as The Lawless Nineties (1936) with John Wayne. He also appeared in dozens of two-reelers such as Columbias Woman Haters (1934) with the Three Stooges, and had a bit role in Laurel and Hardys classic feature Way Out West (1937). Toones is also a familiar face in four Preston Sturges comedies Twentieth Century (1934), Remember the Night (1940), Christmas in July (1940), and The Palm Beach Story (1942).He died on 13 February 1962 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
