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".
