MINI BIO:
Sturdy, baby-faced American actor, Richard Jaeckel, was plucked from the 20th Century-Fox mail room to portray a teenage soldier in Guadalcanal Diary (1943). Apart from serving in the U.S. Navy from mid-1944 to mid-1948, he predominantly played the role of the "tough guy". His star roles between 1952 and 1954 should perhaps have led to something better, but he was largely confined to soldiers and outlaws. He was nominated for an Oscar in Sometimes a Great Notion (1970).
