MINI BIO:
Portly heavy-headed Edward Arnold was a character star who started out playing cowboy heroes in two-reel westerns during the early silent film era. After a 12-year absence from films (to instead act on stage), he returned to Hollywood to become famous as Diamond Jim and detective Nero Wolfe, and other expansive, larger-than-life figures. Later, as his girth widened and his eyes narrowed, Arnold specialized in playing corrupt politicians and businessmen, remaining a top featured player until his death.
