Biography:Flinty character actor "Paul Birch" was strictly a Broadway performer until switching to films in 1952. It didn't take long for Birch to be typecast in science fiction films after playing one of the three "vaporized" locals at the beginning of 1953's "The War of the Worlds". Birch's more memorable cinema fantastique assignments included The Beast With a Million Eyes (1955), "The Day the World Ended" (1956), "The 27th Day" (1957), and "Queen of Outer Space" (1958). In 1957, he played the melancholy leading role in "Roger Corman"'s "Not of This Earth" (1957). Not exclusively confined to flying-saucer epics, "Paul Birch" was also seen in such roles as the Police Chief in "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955) and the Mayor in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
