- Actor

Alan Hale decided on a film career after his attempt at becoming an
opera singer didn't pan out. He quickly became much in demand as a
supporting actor, starred in several films for
Cecil B. DeMille and directed others
for him. With the advent of sound, Hale played leads in a few films but
soon settled down into a career as one of the busiest character actors
in the business. He was one of the featured members of what became
known as the "Warner Brothers Stock Co.", a corps of character actors
and actresses who appeared in scores of Warner Bros. films of the 1930s
and 1940s. Hale's best-known role is probably in
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938),
one of several films he made with his friend
Errol Flynn, in which he played
Little John, a role he played in two other films: Robin Hood (1922) and
Rogues of Sherwood Forest (1950).
