MINI BIO:

American actor with light brown hair. He only fenced with films until the 1930s when he became a Hollywood fixture, one of many players whose faces were more familiar than their names, at first often in unsympathetic roles such as cowardly crooks. Later Fix film characters pursued a policy of non-aggression and a succession of sheriffs, taxi-drivers, judges, seamen, ranchers, and priests established him well on the right side of the law. His mild-mannered, dry-humored approach made him something of a lesser Barry Fitzgerald.
