Major character actor in role as sly lawyer to meek salesman. I like him best as the crazy inmate in Bob Hope's My Favorite Brunette (1947) and as 'Judge Hooker' in The Great Gildersleeve movies (1942).
He was the president of the Trangle Club at Princeton University (1929) and founded the University Players with Henry Fonda, Josh Logan and Jimmy Stewart.
