Biographical Notes:
Romantic
leading man and singing cowboy star.
He
acted and sang on Broadway prior to entering films, then appeared in a number of
non-Western films before signing with Monogram Pictures in 1937 as a singing
cowboy.
Unfortunately,
despite his singing ability, the films were poorly received even for the genre,
due primarily to shoddy production techniques.
His
career rapidly faltered, however, and he moved into supporting parts and villain
roles.
At
the age of 39, he died of a heart attack while shooting a riding scene in The
Royal Mounted Rides Again.
Appeared in:
"Cry Havoc" (1945)
"High Explosive" (1943)
