Al Bridge
Al Bridge (February 26, 1891 – December 27, 1957) was an American character actor who played mostly small roles in over 270 films between 1931 and 1954. Bridge's persona was an unpleasant, gravel-voiced man with an untidy moustache. Sometimes credited as Alan Bridge, and frequently not credited onscreen at all, he appeared in many westerns, especially in the Hopalong Cassidy series, where he played crooked sheriffs and henchmen.
==Life and career==
Bridge and his sister, who would become the actress Loie Bridge, were raised by their mother and stepfather, a Philadelphia butcher.〔1910 U.S. Census, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania〕 Bridge served in the American infantry during World War I.〔U.S. Veterans Administration grave marker, Valhalla Memorial Park, Burbank, California〕 Joining relatives in a theatrical troupe, Bridge toured the U.S. as an actor〔1920 U.S. Census, Kansas City, Missouri〕 and wrote a few scripts. He broke into movies with a pair of minor screenplays (the comedy short ''Her Hired Husband'' in 1930 and a Western, ''God's Country and the Man''〔aka "A Man's Country", "Rose of the Rio Grande" and "Trail of the Law"〕 (1931), in which he also appeared) and spent the next 25 years as a familiar face in B-Westerns and mainstream comedies and dramas. In the forties, Bridge was part of Preston Sturges' unofficial "stock company" of character actors, appearing in ten of the eleven American films that Sturges wrote and directed.〔Al Bridge appeared in ''Christmas in July'', ''The Lady Eve'', ''Sullivan's Travels'', ''The Palm Beach Story'', ''The Miracle of Morgan's Creek'', ''Hail the Conquering Hero'', ''The Great Moment'', ''The Sin of Harold Diddlebock'', ''Unfaithfully Yours'' and ''The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend''. He also appeared in ''I Married a Witch'', which Sturges produced. He had earlier been in ''Diamond Jim'', which Sturges wrote the screenplay for.〕 He is perhaps best remembered for his role as "The Mister", the chain-gang boss over Joel McCrea in Preston Sturges' ''Sullivan's Travels''.〔Takacs, Bill (Biography (IMDB) )〕〔Erickson, Hal (Biography (Allmovie) )〕
Bridge's television work, which began in includes appearances on ''The Range Rider'' and ''The Gene Autry Show'' as well as other programs.
