MilesArcher Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Is it Francis McDonald? He was in hundreds of movies and TV shows. I remember him playing John Wilkes Booth in "The Prisoner Of Shark Island". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Is it Francis McDonald? He was in hundreds of movies and TV shows. I remember him playing John Wilkes Booth in "The Prisoner Of Shark Island". It certainly is. He is also the old slave who gets killed with a spear in The Ten Commandments. I saw him recently playing an American Indian in an episode of The Adventures of Superman.

MilesArcher Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks. This next character actor had a long career in movies and TV. He was in many westerns, but he may be best remembered for several good, and some not so good, science fiction movies. If you know his name, can you also name some movies that he was in? He's from the same home town as Jerry Van Dyke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I didn't buy those DVDs of Perry Mason for nothing - he's one of our judges-- Morris Ankrum He appeared in 2 MGM musicals - - Good News and the Harvey Girls ( Miles, it looks like your Cowboys get around.)

MilesArcher Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 It is indeed Morris Ankrum. You may also remember him from "Invaders From Mars" and "Earth vs The Flying Saucers". He was also in the schlock film "The Giant Claw". Do you know this next guy? He had a career similar to that of Morris Ankrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Tom Browne Henry, noted for his famous line from Earth vs The Flying Saucers: When an armed and threatening power lands uninvited in our capitol, we don't meet him with tea and cookies! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yes, I figured that you might know him, Rich. When it comes to 50's sci-fy movies, he and Morris Ankrum were very much in demand. Your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBeacon Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great to see both of these guys get some recognition. They played more Military officers than Whit Bissell played Doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
