MINI BIO:
Tallow-haired Hollywood actor in films after being spotted in off-Broadway plays. Bridges's screen characters were usually unreliable: braggarts who would back down; charmers who would let you down. He had a nice line in cynical sneers, and it was a pity he didn't rise above about fifth place on cast lists until the early fifties. TV gave him his greatest success in an underwater series called Sea Hunt, and he continued to work prodigiously in the medium, later blossoming as a comedy actor. Briefly blacklisted 1953/4 after admitting past Communist affiliations, he was the father of actors Beau and Jeff Bridges. Battling pancreatic cancer in 1998, he died the same year from congestive heart failure. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:

He was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Television. Bridges was never nominated for an Academy Award.

Lloyd Bridges Quotes:
Phil Corrigan: I found out something about this little tub. My only chance now is to win a bet with myself. I'm gambling that you're as good an American as any of the boys who are dying on the battlefield.
Capt. Phillip Donlin: None of us are fit to ride 50 miles, let alone 250. But we're gonna do it. And we don't have time to go around obstacles. We'll go straight through them, no matter what or who they are.
