      Brian Donlevy

      Brian Donlevy

      Highest Rated: 100% Canyon Passage (1946)

      Lowest Rated: 40% Gamera (1965)

      Birthday: Feb 9, 1901

      Birthplace: Cleveland, Ohio, USA

      Durable Irish-American character player, often cast as a fast-talking tough guy with a heart of gold. On occasion Donlevy played a leading role, notably in Preston Sturges's directorial debut, "The Great McGinty" (1940), but he played memorable supporting parts in "Beau Geste" (1939, as the villainous sergeant), "Destry Rides Again" (1939), "The Glass Key" (1942) and "An American Romance" (1944). Second wife was actress Marjorie Lane.
