MINI BIO:
Light-haired, wistful-looking Irish actor, recognizably the brother of character superstar Barry Fitzgerald. Shields (the real family name) played much smaller roles than his brother after their arrival in Hollywood in the 1930s, but nonetheless etched some sharp studies. Often seen in rimless spectacles, usually dispensing wisdom to those more headstrong than himself. Died from emphysema.

Arthur Shields Quotes:
Sam Leeds:
You feel it's my fault that you're out here, huh?
Rev. Griffin: I put no blame on you now.
Sam Leeds: Well, if it'd make you feel any better, you were right.
Rev. Griffin: About what?
Sam Leeds: I never really cared about the town needin' water, I just wanted to show what a smart fellow I was - I wanted Sally to see that, and make a fool out of Joe. Now I only wish I could tell her I was wrong - about a lot of things.
Rev. Griffin: She will know.
Reverend Rosenkrantz: Any man failing to report to duty will be promptly hanged. Amen.
Reverend Rosenkrantz: O Almighty God, hear us, we beseech Thee, and bring succor and guidance to those we are about to bring to Your divine notice. First we are thinking of Mary Walaber. She is only 16 years old, but she is keeping company with a soldier from Fort Dayton. He's a Massachusetts man, and Thou knowest no good can come of that.
