Actor Born: February 14, 1897 in Muscatine, IA Death: October 20, 1958 in Hollywood, CA Biography:Whether in vaudeville, burlesque, "legit" theatre or radio, "Emmet "Pop" Lynn" played variations on the toothless-old-reprobate roles that brought him screen fame. Though he'd made a tentative foray into films as a teenager in 1913, Lynn truly came into his own after 1940, playing the cantankerous sidekick to such western heroes as "Don Barry" and "Allan "Rocky" Lane". In non-westerns, he could usually be spotted as a janitor, night watchman or rural rustic. He enjoyed a longtime association with Columbia Pictures' short-subject unit, where he was harmoniously teamed with such comics as "Andy Clyde" and Slim Summerville. Emmet Lynn made his final screen appearance as a downtrodden Hebrew peasant in DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" (1956). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
