In ''The Maltese Falcon (1941)''; he plays a friendly cabbie who drives the character Sam Spade played by Humphrey Bogart during a mid-film wild goose chase. His biggest role should have been the part of Gus Smith in the Alfred Hitchcock film ''Lifeboat'' in 1943.

However he worked for Hitch on three other movies ''Mr. & Mrs. Smith'' (1941), ''Saboteur'' (1942) and ''Strangers on a Train'' (1951). Frequently seen in comedies, Alper was featured in the Three Stooges films ''Tricky Dicks'' (1953) and ''The Outlaws IS Coming!'' (1965).
