Actor Born: August 21, 1908 in Durango, CO Death: April 21, 1982 in Newport Beach, CA Biography:Unable to meet the exacting academic requirements of the Naval Academy, Colorado-born "Tom Tully" entered the service branch of his choice as a common seaman. Following this, "Tully" worked as a junior reporter for the Denver Post. He decided to become a radio actor simply because the money was better. After several theatrical flops, "Tully" managed to hitch himself to a success with "Eugene O'Neill"'s Ah, Wilderness. In 1944, he arrived in Hollywood to appear in I'll Be Seeing You. Among his many tough-but-tender screen characterizations was the role of the first commander of the "Caine" in 1954's "The Caine Mutiny", a performance which earned "Tully" an Oscar nomination. From 1954 through 1960, "Tom Tully" essayed the role of Inspector Matt Grebb on the TV detective series Lineup (aka "San Francisco Beat"). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
