Actors, preferably character actors, who played authority figures. Stern or comedic, young or old. I get a kick out of Edward Andrews.  |

John Dehner - commanding officer in Revolt at Fort Laramie to judge in Jagged Edge. Good choice! I think of him as a Confederate officer.

George Bancroft -- Jean Arthur's tough newspaper editor in MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN.
When catching an employee mumbling his opinion of the boss under his breath, the guy quickly recovers and says:
"I said you're a ... I said you've got dirty plaster!" (as he gazes up at the ceiling)
George is somewhat nicer here:

Willis Bouchey, a Senator in “Them” and a secret service agent in “Suddenly,” - for example. Bouchy also made 23 appearances as a judge in the Perry Mason TV series. Speaking of which... Morris Ankrum  His jaw forever set and eyes darkened by concern, Ankrum was only one shy of Bouchy's record, making 22 Perry Mason appearances on the bench as well as in several features, along with what must have been dozens of high-ranking military officers and nearly as many authoritative scientists and doctors. Samuel S. Hinds  Executives, autocratic or amiable; judges, imperious or accommodating; doctors, kindly or cavalier; these were Hinds's stock in trade in over 200 films. Russell Hicks  Hicks rivaled Ankrum for appearances as military officers, along with an assortment of judges, DAs and officious commissioners, board members and the like. Clarence Kolb  Gravel-voiced and blustery, Kolb was perfect for comically pompous executives, politicians, judges and, of course, military men. And no one looked more at home in pince-nez. Charles Coburn  Equally comfortable in pince-nez, but probably more often sporting a monocle, Coburn embodied a series of patriarchal types in the form of fathers, grandfathers and uncles who could be either mercilessly rigid or mischievously rakish.

Addison Richards - who I sometimes have to look up to make sure he is not Willis Bouchey - although he was earlier (1933-1964) than Bouchey (1951-72), they did overlap a little. Richards has 278 movie and 120 TV credits to Bouchey's 77 movie and 135 TV. They also played similar roles of authority figures.  |

Just one more and then I'll let someone else have a turn. John Litel - played Nancy Drew's attorney father in the four '30s films starring Bonita Granville. Often played district attorneys, mayors, and Big Business men - both honest and dishonest - but was he was dignified and well spoken. He was also an occasional regular on the Disney "Zorro" TV series.  |

Aaww Mike -- take another turn ... and then another (never too many and not enough and too good to miss) Very much like John Litel was Henry O'Neill -- usually a good guy in a double breasted suit ... except in SHADOW OF THE THIN MAN |

I thought Bat was my wingman on my left -- now Mike is also flying just off to my right, protecting me from and enhancing my non-visual postings.
