MINI BIO:

American actor with narrowed eyes, close-cropped hair, and wolfish smile. His laconic voice made him an ideal choice to portray Chandler's Philip Marlowe on radio, but he played mostly charming villains in (largely co-feature) films, apart from a stint as the gentleman crook, The Lone Wolf, in the 1940s. Died from a heart attack while in Sweden.

Col. Thomas O'Bannion: Women don't have any monopoly on fear. Men are more afraid of being called cowards. Cowardice is one thing I guess we can never forgive ourselves.
