Biography:"Pat West" spent many years in American vaudeville in a song-and-snappy-patter act with his wife, "Lucille". In films from 1929, "West" could be seen in innumerable bit parts (usually bartenders) in both features and short subjects. He was something of a regular in the films of "Howard Hawks", attaining billing as Warden Cooley in Hawks' "His Girl Friday" (1940), and he also showed up in several "Preston Sturges" films. "Pat West" can be seen in the opening reels of "The Bank Dick" as the assistant movie director who hires Egbert Souse ("W.C. Fields") to replace inebriated director A. Pismo Clam ("Jack Norton"). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
