MINI BIO:
Bug-eyed and scrawny-necked, Roscoe Ates often seemed to be wearing funny clothes and hats the wrong way round. He began his career as a concert violinist, and moved into films cashing in by recreating a childhood stutter and making it part of his many nervous characters. Many times Ates would escape being browbeaten by heroes or would be henpecked by his screen wives. Most notably Ates became cowboy star Eddie Dean's sidekick in 15 1940's westerns.
