Scott Kolk on AllMovie

One of the many young Broadway actors heading for Hollywood after the changeover to sound, Scott Kolk began his screen career as Walter Kolk (his birth name) and ended it in the late 1930s as Scott Colton. In between, Kolk played Leer, one of the young soldiers in Universal's award-winning All Quiet on the Western Front (1930). Great hopes for stardom were in the offing but Universal was no star-maker and Kolk's career fell somewhat short of expectations.
