Born in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Judels spent most of his early career in comic musicals on Broadway, though he also appeared in a number of silent films, beginning with Old Dutch in 1915. With the advent of sound, Judels had numerous roles in shorts, as well as supporting roles in such productions as The Great Ziegfeld and Ninotchka.
Judels was also recognised as a character actor, and provided voices for several cartoons, mostly famously both the explosive puppetmaster Stromboli and the sinister Coachman in Pinocchio.
Judels passed away in 1969.
