Paul Guilfoyle(1902-1961)
- Actor

American character actor. Upon his entry into films in 1930, he was
typecast as a weakling or criminal type. He received great acclaim for
his role as Garth Esdras, the haunted and hunted accessory to murder in
Winterset (1936). Memorable as the weaselly convict who tries to kill James Cagney at
Steve Cochran's behest, but gets his just deserts in the trunk of a car, in
White Heat (1949). After two decades as a film actor, he made a small foray into
film directing. He died at 58.
