Lukas made his stage debut in Budapest in 1916 and his film debut in 1917. At first, he played elegant, smooth womanizers, but increasingly he became typecast as a villain. He had a successful stage and film career in Hungary, Germany, and Austria, where he worked with [[Max Reinhardt]]. He arrived in Hollywood in 1927 and became a [[naturalized citizen]] of the United States in 1937. In 1935 he built a home near the new [[Racquet Club of Palm Springs]], California.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Meeks|first1=Eric G.|title=The Best Guide Ever to Palm Springs Celebrity Homes|date=2014|orig-year=2012|publisher=Horatio Limburger Oglethorpe|isbn=978-1479328598|pages=29–30, 34}}</ref>
