Edit
  • Trivia
    Forlorn-looking 1940s actor at MGM for a couple of years before outgrowing his adorableness. Playing younger than he looked, his best role was arguably as sad sack Willie Brewster who develops a painful crush on Judy Garland in the Rooney/Garland "let's put on a show" musical Strike Up the Band (1940).
