born Aug. 6, 1917, Bridgeport, Conn., U.S.

U.S. film actor.
Expelled from high school in New York City, he spent his teenage years wandering the country and working odd jobs. After joining an acting company in California, he made his screen debut in 1943, acting in several Hopalong Cassidy westerns. He won praise for his role in
The Story of G.I. Joe (1945). With his trademark sleepy-eyed, tough-guy appearance, he usually played loners and villains, in movies (many of them B movies that have grown in critical esteem over time) such as
Out of the Past (1947),
The Lusty Men (1952),
The Night of the Hunter (1955),
Thunder Road (1958),
Cape Fear (1962),
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), and
Farewell, My Lovely (1975). In his later years, he starred in the television miniseries
Winds of War (1983) and
War and Remembrance (1988–89).
