MINI BIO:
Emory Parnell was a rotund American character actor with receding brown hair and a neck that stretched from the point of his jaw to his chest. He was just as likely to turn up in a lunatic comedy part or as a prison warden. He also played a large number of policemen, frequently baffled by the hero or the case. A former vaudevillian, he made scores of Hollywood films before venturing into television in the 1950s, becoming familiar to viewers as the bartender in the long-funning western series "Lawman". He died from a heart attack.
