MINI BIO:
With pasted-across hair and rimless spectacles, Charles Halton played businessmen, bank managers, doctors and even spies. His characters were suspicious of intentions and generally nobody's fools; you could almost see their noses twitch. A late arrival to the film world, Halton became one of Hollywood's most prolific character actors. From 1938 to 1940 alone, he appeared in over 50 films, often giving incisive cameos. He was at his interfering best in the war years, notably in such films as "To Be or No To Be". He also played the role of Mr. Carter, the bank examiner in "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946). He died from hepatitis.
