James Anderson(1921-1969)
- Actor
A familiar face to movie audiences in the 1950s, James Anderson's
rugged and somewhat sinister good looks made him a natural for
westerns, and he appeared in many of them over the years, often as a
gunman or hired killer but occasionally as a storekeeper or grizzled
frontier scout. He turned in a very good performance as one of the
survivors of a nuclear attack in Five (1951) and another as a redneck
farmer in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), but it's for his western roles in films and on TV
that Anderson is best known.
