Loved him in Stalag 17. I never realized how much he was in until I looked him up on IMDB. Looks like he worked pretty steadily for 70 years. | |||

He was in several Perry Mason's and I have watched some of them recently. There are so many great old character actors that we see over and over, but may not know their names. | |||

The name didn't register nor did the picture with that Fox linked article. But a search with images brought the "ah ha!" moment.  Yes, very prolific actor.Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

The article I linked to mentions Cry Danger and it is one of my favorite films noir. Here's just a tiny snippet- way too short- of the marvelous dialogue in this film. TCM regularly airs this movie, so you'll have a chance t catch it. That's LA in the background. Great views of long-gone parts of Los Angeles in this film, but the real reason to watch it is for Powell and Erdman and their wisecracking. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Great character actor! RIP. Oh... In the Clover Park Trailer scene, the car Powell and Erdman are in is a 1950 Nash. Which had seats that transformed into a bed. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Stalag 17 has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. After reading his IMDB article I hadn’t realized just how much he has done. Laughing in the face of danger is all well and good until danger laughs back. | |||
