description: "Warren William Krech was an American stage and screen actor, who achieved Hollywood stardom during the early 1930s. Later earning the nickname the \"King of Pre-Code\", he typified the cunning, often-amoral leading men of early sound cinema. According to one critic, \"no other actor embodied the classy mix of charm and sleaze that epitomized pre-Code Hollywood.\" He was also the first actor to portray fictional lawyer Perry Mason."
