MINI BIO:
Skillful and likeable American actor of tough-guy parts, facially not unlike George Raft. Usually billed above the title but behind the stars, but quite capable of carrying a film on his own during his peak period (1935-1949), Nolan was also the star of a presentable little series of crime thrillers about detective Michael Shayne. Remained in occasional character roles until his death from lung cancer.
