Vince Barnett Overview:
Character actor, Vince Barnett, was born on Jul 4, 1902 in Pittsburgh, PA. Barnett died at the age of 75 on Aug 10, 1977 in Encino, CA .
MINI BIO:
Short, jaunty, bald, fast-talking American actor with rolling, watery eyes and wispy moustache, who played runts, weasels, and whining Runyonesque gangsters, often in comic vein. One of life's losers on screen, but a well-liked and ubiquitous figure off it as an inveterate wisecracker and practical joker. In his twenties, Barnett was an airmail pilot who pioneered trans-American routes.

Vince Barnett Quotes:
Buckthorn the Guide:
Kobis - headhunters! They're headin' back in the direction from which we came!
Bruce Kellogg: Maybe they owe a friendly visit to the Posa tribe.
Buckthorn the Guide: If they're headin' for the Posa tribe, they're going to stock up on provisions for the winter.
Jim Reardon: How well did you know the Swede?
Charleston: Me? Mister, I guess me and the Swede were about as close as two guys can get. For nearly two years we weren't more than eight and a half feet apart. That's how big the cell was.
[with the help of the jailer's pet crow, the Three Mesquiteers escape]
Jailer: Where'd they go?
Eight Ball, a crow: They went that-a-way, Sheriff!
