James Flavin (1906-1976)
Description: A signed album page from this Irish/American supporting actor usually as genial or bewildered cop. Appeared in some of the classic film greats like King Kong 33, The Grapes of Wrath 40, Cloak & Dagger 46, Desert Fury 47, Mighty Joe Young 50, Mister Roberts 55
Jut-jawed and jaunty-looking Irish-American character actor appeared in countless Hollywood films of the 30's and 40's in which he almost always portrayed a keeper of order: e.g. a ship's second mate or a US Marine platoon sergeant or a big-city police investigator. The only exception to his good-guy rule was his brief appearance as a thug in the comedy "Brother Orchid".
