Synopsis: Thrust Into Television

Many movie character actors found steady work and arguably more exposure with the advent of television. 

















MYRON HEALEY (1923-2005) 

Healey's characters may be despised more than others in film or television during the 1950s thanks to his condescending delivery as a villain. When Healey was "bad" he could be despicable. He somewhat carried the torch from actor, Harry Lauter, nine years his elder. He appeared in some 140 films, including more than 80 westerns, frequently for Monogram Pictures. But it was television that brought him intimate exposure. Healey served in World War II as an Air Corps navigator and bombardier, flying in B-26 Martin Marauders in the European Theatre. After the war he continued military duties, retiring in the early 1960s as a captain in the United States Air Force Reserve.
