Biography
Often seen with a cigarette dangling from his tight lips, Texas-born Barton Yarborough became a constant presence in gangster melodramas of the 1940s. In films from 1941, Yarborough also played Dr. Kettering, the monster's first victim in The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), and a private detective Doc Long, in the I Love a Mystery thriller The Devil's Mask (1946). Yarborough ended his career playing Sgt. Ben Romero in the first (1951) season of television's Dragnet. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
