MINI BIO:
British-born Hollywood actor who played good-hearted, affable types, tough heroes, Irishmen, and gangsters with a soft streak. He hit the headlines in the mid-1930s when seeking (and finding) his long-lost parents in England. His acting improved in stocky character roles, after a few leads in the 1930s, and he remained in films and TV until his death from a heart ailment.
