Actor Born: July 1, 1903 in Pittsburgh, PA Death: January 19, 1991 in Woodland Hills, CA Biography:Dapper, rotund character actor Don Beddoe was born in New York and raised in Cincinnati, where his father headed the Conservatory of Music. Beddoe's professional career began in Cincinnati, first as a journalist and then an actor. He made his Broadway debut in the unfortunately titled "Nigger Rich", which starred Spencer Tracy. Beddoe became a fixture of Columbia Pictures in the 1930s and 1940s, playing minor roles in "A"s like "Golden Boy", supporting parts ranging from cops to conventioneers in the studio's "B" features, and flustered comedy foil to the antics of such Columbia short subject stars as The Three Stooges, Andy Clyde and Charley Chase. Beddoe kept busy until the mid-1980s with leading roles in 1961's "The Boy Who Caught a Crook" and "Saintly Sinners", and (as a singing leprechaun) in 1962's "Jack the Giant Killer". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
