MINI BIO:
Bluff, burly and often mustachioed, Beery played rough, tough, swarthy villains with strong personalities. He was at his best in silent films although his crackling tones adapted well to sound. He died of a heart attack at exactly the same age as his slightly more prestigious brother, Wallace, with whom he had worked as a chorus boy in musicals at the turn of the century.
