Seems like he played the town drunk on Gunsmoke and he did it well. 8)

Saw one of my favorite character actors in The Big Sleep on TCM yesterday. Elisha Cook Jr. had a 60+ year career in film and television in all sorts of roles, from psychopathic gangsters to westerns and comedies. Probably best know for his roles as a gangster gunman in 21 film noirs (he played Sidney Greenstreet’s smarmy psycho gunman “Wilmer”, in The Maltese Falcon for example).

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
