MINI BIO:
Playing figures of authority must have come as second nature to this distinguished, thoughtful-looking American actor whose fair hair went grey early in his career. After 20 years of playing judges, lawyers, officers and doctors in more than 150 films, Henry O'Neill probably found it quite a relief to play the occasional murder suspect or villain, but his quiet dignity usually decreed he would be on the right side of the law.
