MINO BIO:
Stern-looking and often moustachioed, Walter Abel was strangely one of Broadway's foremost exponents of farce before embarking seriously on a movie career that saw him much cast as senior officers, lawyers and chiefs of detectives. He played D'Artagnan in his second sound role, and otherwise appeared mainly in supporting roles. He was later frequently seen as harassed fathers.
