James Flavin (1906–1976)

Actor | Soundtrack

Jut-jawed and jaunty-looking Irish-American character actor appeared in countless Hollywood films of the 1930s and '40s in which he almost always portrayed a keeper of order: e.g., a ship's second mate or a US Marine platoon sergeant or a big-city police investigator. The only exception to his good-guy rule was his brief appearance as a thug in the comedy _Brother Orchid (1940)_. See full bio »

Born:

James William Flavin Jr.
