Hi:
I think you're looking for Thomas Mitchell. Even though he appears credited in the Internet Movie Database, I don't believe he is actually credited in the film during the opening credits (there are no closing credits). Mitchell was a journalist like his father and grandfather before pursuing acting.
Hope that helps!

It's neither.Quote:

I've already given you more help than I had.
I _do_ sincerely wish you good luck.

Now it can be told: His name was Rondo Hatton. He suffered from a disease that made the bones in his face grow faster than the other bones in his body.
He had a brief career playing movies - mainly horror movies. His most high-profile part was as the runner-up in the "ugly man" contest in the 1930s version of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME.
Yep - I found out the right answer to this one on Sunday... but I had sent in my answer sheet on Saturday. It's total karma for me to get this one wrong - I had Fortunio Bonanova. I was trying to steer people in the wrong direction :)
This should be the only one I got wrong though... we shall see.

Congratulations!
I appreciate the thought, but I'm sure there are other folks out there who have as many (or more) questions right.Quote:

So - we'll see! But thanks!
