RE: Lee
After the war he worked as an office administrator, becoming involved in amateur theatrics in his spare time. An audition for a professional role led to a touring company job in "Mr. Roberts". His performance was seen by Stanley Kramer, who cast him as henchman Jack Colby in High Noon (1952), a role that brought him great recognition despite the fact that he had no dialogue.
Imagine if he had used his birth name as his screen name. Somehow that wonderfully villainous face and "Clarence Leroy" just don't mesh.

Lon Chaney has a nice role in High Noon as the former marshall … look at his hands.
and Jack Elam plays an uncredited "drunk in the jail "
The film is populated by so many of the great 1950's "character" actors !
