He did not renew the contract and than worked as a freelance actor accepting other types of jobs as he got stuck with a certain type of characters and got bored. The people where a bit confused so he wrote both but than the endtitles where too long to write so he wrote Joseph S. He used to sing some songs in the Restaurants that is how he was discovered by a client who in fact was a Director the offered him a job as an actor with Golden Meyer.When his father leared that he became an actor he got very angry and as in those days to be an actor was a taboo too told him to renounce his surname and he was originally known as Spurrin with his grandmother's surname (link ) later after having done lots of movies he told him he should use his surname as he saw he was no faliure and was in fact successful. I am Maltese I believe we should make him a proper burial with a monument dedicated to a man who honored us as a country and managed to put his Maltese roots in a movie! I do not agree with the Maltese born American actor statement as aged 17 he left like we say here 'ta fuqu senduqu'= with only what he had on him and left the family here in Malta.He was originally a waiter in fact he wrote a play called 'Joe the waiter' as I read in the body of the artical in Wiki.

I saw that piece of film during a documentary on Joseph Calleia on the national TV of Malta.

Yesterday confirmed the part that Joseph Calleia sang a Maltese folk tune altough I'm not sure if it was "Lilek int tal-gallarija" during the movie tough guy. I'm not sure if that is the only time that a Maltese folk tune was sang during a Hollywood film but most probably it is. It's popular in Malta and some time ago there was a documentary on TV and played that clip from the film. It's sure that Calleia sang that piece of folk tune.
(*I saw the documentry on Malta Tv chanel Education 22 and they said about this and about his first cousin Censu Tabone.*)These ARE facts and NOT trivia as the first hand witnesses still living one of which is a famous gornalist here in Malta Afton M. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source.
