Character actor, Will Wright, was born William Henry Wright on Mar 26, 1894 in San Francisco, CA. Wright died at the age of 68 on Jun 19, 1962 in Hollywood, CA .
MINI BIO:
Tall, slightly stooping, long-faced American supporting actor with a slick of dark hair and a hangdog look. Quite unmistakable in appearance, but rarely rose above minor roles; a happy exception was his seedy apartment house detective in The Blue Dahlia. His credits are sometimes confused with those of a younger actor, William Wright. Died from cancer.
